This handout picture taken on August 24, 2020, by the Mauritius Police Press Office shows the broken stem of the MV Wakashio, a Japanese-owned ship which ran aground causing a devastating oil spill, sinking in the open water near Mauritius. - The MV Wakashio ran aground on a coral reef off the Indian Ocean island on July 25, 2020, and began leaking oil two weeks later, prompting a race against the clock to pump all the fuel off the bulk carrier before it broke in two. The operation was successful and two tugboats last week began towing the larger, forward section of the vessel some 15 kilometres (nine miles) out into the open ocean, where it has been sunk to a depth of 3,180 metres.
