Nagashiki Shipping, the owner of the grounded bulker that has leaked 1,000 tonnes of fuel oil onto the island of Mauritius, now has two tankers on site to take fuel from the vessel.
The move comes as an environmental catastrophe unfolds which is staining the islands pristine beaches and reefs with heavy fuel oil.
Expert teams from Japan, France and Mauritius are attempting to contain pollution caused by the fuel that has leaked from the 203,000-dwt Wakashio (built 2007) so far.
