The ship was carrying1,600 tonnes of lubricant
Two product tankers were involved in a collision nine nautical miles north of Malaysia’s Tioman Island.
The incident happened yesterday morning, said Malaysian news agency Bernama.
The 19 rescued crew came from the 3,000-dwt Cendanawati built (1997) which was one of the ships involved, according to the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency.
The ship was carrying1,600 tonnes of lubricant and the agency reported leakage from the vessel.
The other tanker, the 5,000-dwt Cosmic 10 (built 2007), continued on its route.
Rescued by a nearby ship, there were no injuries apart from Cendanawati’s master who suffered a minor head injury, the report said.
