Engine room called the deck and told them to inform the boat to immediately stop
pumping fuel. Mechanic Arunnath had noticed that there was fuel leaking from
the transfer pump and it was starting to fill the scupper. He immediately placed
some sand on top of the spill a placed more rags on the deck just in case there was
in spillage onto the deck. After inspecting the transfer pump it was found that the
