The Ministry of Environment has ordered the MSC-Trinidad ship to be towed out of Barahona Port because it contains residual oils that have been deemed highly toxic. Victor Garcia, Deputy Minster at the Ministry of Environment, said that the substance is sludge. The Ministry also ordered an internal investigation into the Ministry's Environmental Management Department that allowed the Panamanian-registered ship to dock in Barahona with the toxic substances on board. A full investigation into the ship's origins and intent is underway.
The Dominican Navy is responsible for the immediate removal of the ship from Dominican territorial waters. Listin Diario reports that the ship originally arrived from the Bahamas, after its request to dock there was rejected.
