Prose ship OS 35 occurs oil leakage

Relevant departments said that major oil leaks occurred in the OS 35 of bulk cargo ships, and environmentalists were worried that this would cause major damage to the ecology.

As of the afternoon of September 2nd local time, the Gibraltar authorities said that 250 tons of diesel on the ship had been transported away. They now start to remove 215 tons of heavy fuel oil.

The Gibraltar Port Authority said that the divers have been able to re -establish the fuel tank sealing and are trying to prevent leakage. The captain of the port has confirmed that the leakage of the fuel tank ventilation port has been completely controlled.

On August 29th local time, the OS 35 cargo ship collided with a liquefied natural gas tanker in the Gatalonian Gulf near Gibraltar. Although OS 35 is damaged, the ship continues to leave the Bay of Gibraltar and go to the Strait of the Gibralta Strait connecting the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean.

But when the captain found the hull damaged and padded with water, it was decided to put the ship stranded underwater to prevent it from sinking. The Hong Kong Affairs Bureau tried to repair the hull, but the hull has been cracked to two. By August 31, local time, some fuels had begun to leak into the sea from the ventilation holes of the fuel tank.

Leaking oil is spreading

Although the ship leaked on the east side of the Gatonian Gulf, environmentalists said that oil had penetrated on the west coast of the Gibralta Gulf.

According to reports, the captain of the ship has been arrested.

"Everyone was shocked at this moment at this moment," said marine biologist Lewis Stariento. "He added that Non -governmental organizations in Gibraltar are looking for all the animals that may be affected.

"As leaking oil becomes more and more sticky, it will hurt all animals and pollute the ecosystem."

Police have deployed a fence bar to control the oil leakage, and the Gibraltar authorities are recycling oil from the sea using the oil -skimmer.

The Spanish authorities have entered a state of warning and sent patrols to the coastal areas to monitor the possible pollution situations in the Gulf of Alchlas, Spain.
