Containment booms have been placed around the Hong Kong-flagged Maipo River, which reported leaking bunker oil at about 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday
Several agencies and vessels were responding to a fuel spill from a bulk carrier in Nanaimo Harbour Wednesday morning.
The Canadian Coast Guard said an unconfirmed amount of heavy fuel oil spilled during “a fuel transfer.” He said it was unclear how much fuel spilled or what the spread could be around the jetty area, harbour or shorelines.There are no estimates yet of how much fuel was spilled, he said. “It looks like most of the oil has been caught in the booms that surround the ship.”
Each of the spill-response vessels has three to four crew members, including coast guard and Nanaimo Port Authority personnel.
