Coast Guard rescue crews respond to the distressed container-ship MSC Idil.
A sudden blast aboard an MSC containership off the coast of Puerto Rico forced crew to spring into action to stem the influx of water and stabilize the vessel, avoiding any injury and pollution.
The U.S. Coast Guard says the explosion occurred late Friday afternoon aboard MSC Idil with 25 people onboard, approximately 60 nautical miles north of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The crew of the 900-foot Panamanian flagged container ship is all accounted for and no injuries were reported following the incident that caused the container ship to begin listing and take on water into a fuel tank and cargo compartment.
