Submersibles to inspect sunken oil tanker

Unmanned submersibles will be sent to inspect the sunken wreckage of the oil tanker Sanchi, which was located on Tuesday morning after a sweeping survey of the area.

Issues concerning possible oil leaks and pollution are under control, the Ministry of Transport said on Wednesday.

The wreckage was found at a depth of 115 meters in the East China Sea off the coast of Shanghai. The survey showed the vessel has a break on its right side, 60 meters from the bow. Nothing abnormal was discovered in the surrounding area.
