An oil tanker has sunk in the Port of Ternate, on Ternate Island in the North Malaku Group in Indonesia, after being struck be a freak wave. The Patriot Andalan, operated by state-owned oil company Pertamina was unloading its cargo of petrol and diesel, when the wave lifted the vessel onto a jetty, causing severe damage that resulted in the vessel capsizing and sinking. The tanker was carrying 5000 tonnes of diesel fuel and 2000 tonnes of petrol from a refinery in West Papua, of which 1000 tonnes of diesel and 600 tonnes of petrol had been unloaded when the vessel sank. It is unclear how much of the remaining oil has leaked into the sea.
