Ship drifted from Kemaman port being monitored, no oil spills detected: Nik Nazmi

Environment minister says Atosa 01 moved 15m away after its anchor line broke due to bad weather on Jan 24

KUALA LUMPUR – The Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Ministry has carried out continuous monitoring of the vessel Atosa 01 that has drifted from the Kemaman port area at Chendor Beach, Kuantan on January 30 until today, and found that no pollution has occurred.

Its minister, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said the ship drifted about 15m away as a result of the ship’s anchor line breaking due to the bad weather that occurred on January 24 in the Kemaman waters. 

He said his team, through the Environment Department, received information related to this matter from the Kemaman Marine Office at about 10am on Tuesday, 

“The vessel is a dry cargo ship registered in Freetown, Sierra Leone. At the time of the incident, there was no cargo or load onboard but there was still approximately 18 tonnes of diesel that could potentially cause an oil spill. 

“Three crewmen, who were still onboard when the incident happened, saved themselves by jumping into the sea,” he said in a statement.  

Elaborating further, Nik Nazmi said the status of the vessel is under the custody of the Eastern Region Marine Department through the Order of the Kuala Lumpur High Court on October 25, 2023. 

Therefore, the Environment Department has asked the Malaysian Marine Department to tow the ship to the Kemaman port area and to install oil booms as a measure to control oil pollution in the event of oil spills. 

The department calls on the public to report any activities of polluting the environment by calling the 24-hour toll-free line at 1-800-88-2727 or emailing aduan_k@doe.gov.my via the Environment Department e-complaint portal at https://eaduan.doe.gov.my. – February 3, 2024
