ALOR GAJAH (Bernama): A foreign tanker believed to be involved in an oil spill in the waters off Tanjung Balau and Batu Layar near Kota Tinggi, Johor, on April 17 has been traced outside the nation's waters, says Marine Department director-general Datuk Baharin Abdul Hamid.

He said the department would be seeking the cooperation of the country where the tanker was currently berthed at to take oil samples and for further investigations to be carried out so that prosecution could be done immediately.

Earlier he presented awards to some of the 191 graduates who had completed their studies in the fields of shipping and maritime. On other developments, he added that the country's maritime industry did not have enough skilled manpower among its sailors, especially in handling Malaysian vessels.
