Pachacámac

The 26 meter long tugboat Pachacámac capsized and sank off Mollendo, Peru. The tug had struck an underwater rock off the beach Catarindo and capsized.  Many local swimmers were first to the scene and rescued two of the three crew on board. Divers were requested to search for the missing third crewman. Authorities placed booms around the sunken tug to contain any fuel released. Owners of the tug later started to remove fuel off the vessel to avoid impacting the local beach.
