Gibraltar confirms leakage of fuel from stranded cargo ship

The Tuvalu-registered OS 35 cargo ship that collided with a liquid natural gas carrier in the bay of Gibraltar last Monday, lies on the seabed off Catalan bay to prevent it from sinking in Gibraltar, Thursday, Sept. 1, 2022. Gibraltar authorities say that a small amount of heavy fuel oil has leaked from a bulk carrier ship stranded since colliding Monday with another ship near the Bay of Gibraltar.  A government spokesman said that the situation was under control and the cargo ship was not in danger. He said there has been no environmental impact so far.
