The US Coast Guard has intervened to stem an oil Leaking from the fuel tanks of Yang Ming Marine Transport’s 6,572TEU container vessel, YM Mandate in the port of New York and New Jersey.
Oil was spotted leaking from the 10-year old vessel on Monday evening as it called at the Global Container Terminal Bayonne Bridge terminal in New Jersey.
