The cargo ship Tomsk, which belongs to Swiss company Georgas Trading, was damaged after unloading LPG (Propane) at the Coastal installation in San Pedro de Macoris. Coastal Petroleum Dominicana, S.A., confirmed the ship's plight, and said that the situation has kept the vessel from continuing its trip to the Dominican Refinery in Haina. Although the vessel is near the Coastal facilities in San Pedro de Macoris, the situation does not put the local population at any risk, according to the Coastal spokesperson. Salvage equipment is in place and units of the Dominican and United States Coast Guard are assisting in the operation, as well as equipment from the Titan Company from Florida. The Tomsk is a new ship with a double hull, which reduces the risk of an oil spill. Coastal are also guaranteeing a normal propane gas supply.
