A commercial cargo ship carrying 750 tons of fuel sank due to a marine accident resulting from bad weather off the southern coast of Tunisia, while its seven-person crew was evacuated, a local court said.
“The ship sank today in Tunisian waters. So far, there is no fuel leakage,” a spokesman for the (south-east) Gabes court told AFP, explaining that the disaster committee will meet to take decisions over any occurring pollution.
