SEPCOL said it has notified authorities of the explosion and that is already being investigated.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time there are no reported fatalities, but we can confirm that there were ten crew men on board the vessel prior to the incident and we are prioritising investigations with respect to their safety and security,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
