Fear of pollution from grounded fishing vessel
The 'Rong Tai 8', which ran aground on the Poklington Reef off Rossel Island in the Milne Bay Province in May 2023, has tilted to port seriously recently. People on Rossel Island have raised concern to the National Fisheries Authority (NFA) and the National Safety Authorityx (NMSA) to investigate and take action to remove the threat. The ship had on board diesel and fuel oil as well as fishing gears and stocks of fish, when it ran aground. New reports said, the ship may be spilling pollutants after it started to tilt. Rough seas have pushed it further up on the reef. Report with photo: https://www.postcourier.com.pg/abandoned-fishing-boat-polluting-the-reef-and-sea/
