THE environmental advocacy group Fishermen and Friends of the Sea (FFOS) is claiming a company is illegally using a derelict fishing vessel in Chaguaramas as a dumping site to discard engine oil after it services boats.

FFOS corporate secretary Gary Aboud took the media to the site located off Point Gourde, Chaguaramas, which appeared to be a graveyard for boats.

There were almost a dozen boats including tugs, fishing vessels and old yachts, all either partially submerged or entirely sunken in some cases.
