A Japanese bulk carrier - that has leaked tonnes of fuel oil off the Mauritius coast - has broken apart. The MV Wakashio ran aground on a coral reef last month - with four thousand tonnes of the fuel - causing an ecological emergency. Most of the fuel had already been pumped out during the week - but the ship's condition worsened yesterday. Coast guard vessels have been positioned in the area - and booms have been reinforced near the vessel to absorb any more oil that has leaked out. Mauritius is home to world-renowned coral reefs, and popular with tourists.
