The ship was carrying 297 containers, including 14 with hazardous materials, according to the Thai Maritime Enforcement Command Centre. All containers sank with the 4,339-tonne vessel.<\/p>\n

An aerial survey later detected an oil slick stretching about 4.5 miles (7.2 kilometers) westward and one mile wide. No oil has reached Phuket\u2019s coastline so far, officials said.<\/p>\n

Authorities have classified the incident as large-scale, citing growing environmental risks and potential hazards to navigation.<\/p>\n
