A Chinese-flagged fishing vessel has run aground close to Mauritius’s only port, just months after the Indian Ocean island nation had to contend with its worst-ever ecological disaster that was caused by a massive oil spill. The FV Lu Rong Yuan Yu, a 45-m-long fishing trawler, ran aground on the west coast on March 7 while queuing to enter the port for bunkering purposes. The vessel was carrying 130 metric tons of marine gasoil and five tons of lubricating oil, according to an e-mailed statement from the environment ministry.
