Oil spill in Mauritius
The Taiwanese Fishing Vessel Yu Feng Number 67 was grounded on a reef off the coast of Ile du Sud, St. Brandon archipelago, in Mauritius on 5 December 2022.
The crew of 20 were retrieved safely, but authorities were unable to remove the stricken vessel since the incident due to poor weather, which also prevented underwater inspections of the vessel to determine its condition. Some time after the vessel became grounded, the Yu Feng started to list to the side, but did not sink.
It was reported that at the time of the crash, the vessel was carrying approximately 63,000 kg of marine diesel fuel, 453 kg of lubricating oil and 60,000 kg of fishing bait. The crew had managed to throw some of the bait overboard after the crash but some remained onboard.
As of Saturday 7th January 2023, no evidence of oil spillage was found around the YU Feng 67 in St Brandon, authorities took water samples which showed no trace of heavy oil.
