PHUKET: Marine Police scrambled this morning to contain an oil spill from an abandoned illegal tanker that sank in the Tah Jeen Canal on the east side of Phuket Town last night. The sunken boat, modified into an illegal tanker with the capacity to hold an estimated 20,000 liters of diesel oil, was spotted by local villagers at about 7:30am. “We called in another tanker, the Chok Thavorn 11, which recovered about 10,000 liters of oil from the sunken boat,” Phuket Marine Police Deputy Inspector Jeerayuth Onthong told the Phuket Gazette.
