Jumbo II, an excursions boat moored in Puerto Alcudia and unused for some considerable time, sank on Friday morning.

The Balearic Ports Authority explains that the sinking was due to a leak. Efforts were made to stop the boat from sinking but these were unsuccessful.

Absorbent barriers have been placed around the vessel to prevent any possible contamination.
