Governor Ehsa declares an emergency as the grounded Chinese fishing vessel Ping Da 7 leaks oil on Nankapenparam Reef.

What happened

A joint Pohnpei State and national task force was already handling the grounded ship, and its 16 crew had been brought ashore. When oil began to leak, several agencies went out to find and contain it, and the task force looked for salvage help, saying the owner had not taken responsibility.
