Moderators Moderator_02 Posted April 14, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 14, 2019 Quote 80% of Colon oil slick contained Posted 13/04/2019 Some 80% of the oil spilled in an area near the port of Cristóbal, in Colón. Has been mopped up by personnel of the Panama Maritime Authority (AMP) said a statement issued Saturday, April 17. The AMP is continuing with the evaluation in the area to find the origin of the spill, which caused a hydrocarbon slick on the Colonoast. So far, the origin of the spill remains as "unknown", so personnel of the AMP intervened in the work of cleaning and containment. If the person in charge is located, he/she must take care of the cleaning tasks, mitigate the effects on the environment and the expenses incurred said the AMP. The slick was reported on Wednesday night, April 10. To carry out the cleaning work, 250 feet of containment were used to reduce the impact on the marine environment https://www.newsroompanama.com/business/80-of-colon-oil-slick-contained-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Doug Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I don't want to minimize it too much, but 250 of boom to contain this suggests suggests a very minor spill of a few gallons at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
