A local emergency, crisis and disaster management team is working to unload a vessel carrying a shipment of diesel which capsized off Umm Al Quwain on Thursday.

The team members held a meeting earlier to discuss the action taken and measures to prevent similar accidents in future. They were reassured that the vessel's crew was safely brought ashore.

According to the team members, the accident would have very little environmental impact.

The owner of the vessel has agreed to remove the vessel in three days.
