CHUKAI: A ghost ship drifting near the Semangkok A oil platform off Terengganu appears to be risk-free as no hazardous chemicals or human remains were found in the abandoned hulk, says Kemaman Maritime Zone director Maritime Commander Abdul Halim Hamzah.

He said 17 members of the Fire and Rescue Department’s hazardous materials (Hazmat) special team and three officers from the state Marine Department were involved in an hour-long inspection on three levels of the 53.7m-long and 10m-wide ship at the Kemaman Supply Base.
