Oil leaking into the sea

There is strong possibility that about 70 tones of oil has leaked from the stranded freight ship Wilson Muuga where it lies stranded at Hvalnes. Only 50 tones of oil are believed to be left in its side tanks. It is also believed that about 13 tones of gasoline have leaked into the ocean. The ship is still standing upright and has not moved much. The stream is strong in this area and the tides wash the oil out into the ocean. Whether oil should to be pumped from the ship during these dangerous circumstances is being evaluated.
