        Malaysia's coast guard said on Sunday it had located and intercepted a large oil tanker that was involved in a fiery collision with another vessel two days ago off Singapore.
        
        The coast guard said on Saturday that the Sao Tome and Principe-flagged tanker Ceres I had left the location of the collision that caused a fire and injured at least two crew members. The ship was also believed to have turned off its tracking system, the coast guard said.
        
        The Ceres I was found in Malaysian waters with two tugboats towing it, the coast guard said in a statement on Sunday.
        
        The Ceres I and the two tugboats have been detained by the coast guard for further investigation, it added.
