Supplier ran onto rock and sank
On Jan 17, 2013, the "Penrith" which was being used for an offshore oil and gas project in Burma, sank off Taninthayi Region’s Dawei district near Mawgyi Village in Yephyu Township after hitting a rock. It had run into a massive rock while conducting pipelining services for the Zawtika natural gas project. The 42-member crew was rescued by two motorboats. The Hallin Marine Subsea International Ltd. declined to give further details. The vessek just had started a four-month project last month. Concerns were rising about pollution in the area. The Zawtika gas field is located in the Gulf of Martaban, about 300 km south of Yangon and 290km west of Dawei. Its depth ranges between 135 m and 160 m.
