ANCHORAGE (Reuters) - Fuel oil was pouring out of a Malaysian-flagged cargo vessel that grounded off an Aleutian island and split into two nearly equal pieces, threatening a sensitive area of marine habitat, officials said on Thursday.
The ship, which lost power and began drifting early Tuesday morning in the stormy Bering Sea, appeared to be losing much of the nearly 500,000 gallons of heavy bunker fuel oil it was carrying, officials said.
The grounding site is offshore from Unalaska Island, about 800 miles southwest of Anchorage. The site is managed by the sprawling Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, although it is technically not part of the refuge. The area is important to sea birds and marine mammals, said Greg Siekaniec, refuge manager.

Formula One is certainly filled with glitz and glamour, but Scuderia Toro Rossos Daniel Ricciardo knows another truth about the F1 life: It can be tough to find a pal.
You try to make friends along the way but it is not easy, the Australian driver said in a James Phelps-penned piece for todays Sunday Telegraph (Sydney, Australia).
The friends you tend to make are drivers because you spend most of your time at a trackBut in this business, you are one out a lot of the time. It is hard to make friends because of all the traveling we do and how busy we are. I am never in one place at one time and it is impossible to build a network of friends.
Ricciardo tells Phelps that he has a good rapport with Infiniti Red Bull driver and fellow Aussie Mark Webber, but that he doesnt always get along with all of the other racers on the grid. In addition, he constantly checks in with family from Down Under some of which will see him compete next weekend at the Australian Grand Prix in [url=http://cheapnikeairmaxoutlet.yolasite.com/]nike air max 95[/url] Melbourne.
The Perth native has been looking to take himself and Toro Rosso farther up the pecking order in 2013, and a good opening round in front of his relatives (and his countrymen) would be a solid first step.
But while hell be raring to go for his home event, it sounds like hes looking forward to post-race even more.
That is the hardest thing, missing my family and mates, he also said to the Telegraph. I don t get to see them much, but this week a few of them are coming from Perth. But honestly, my only chance to see them will be on Sunday night when it is all over.
I can t wait to catch up, because I don t know when I will see them again.
