An oil vessel used for storage that exploded off the coast of Nigeria this week had not been maintained for sometime and had technical issues, two sources and an environmental group said on Friday, as its wreckage lay in the sea after the fire was put out.
The 10 crew members who were on board at the time of explosion early on Wednesday remained unaccounted for, according to witnesses, amid fears they may have been caught in the fire.
A trading source who used to occasionally store oil on the vessel but stopped because of "too many technical issues. Old and badly maintained." "Most, if not all of the big trading companies stopped using it several years ago," the source told Reuters.
