The MV Accord was reportedly laden with 58,000 sacks of rice. So far, the bunker has stopped leaking when the hole was plugged after the ship settled on the seabed.

Cdr. Nelson Torre, Coast Guard station head, said he had asked that the shipping company first siphon out the remaining bunker before unloading the rice, which would make the ship float and leak out more bunker.
