SRI LANKA-OIL TANKER-FUEL LEAK

Photo taken on Sept. 10, 2020 shows the trails of fuel patch on the sea off Sri Lanka's eastern coast. The Sri Lanka Navy on Thursday said that the crude oil tanks on board the MT New Diamond oil tanker which caught fire in Sri Lanka's eastern seas last Thursday remained unharmed and the fire on board the ship had been completely doused. In a statement, the navy, however, said that on Thursday morning, another fuel patch was spotted in the sea where the ship was located and it was revealed that the recent fuel patch and the one noticed on Thursday had been caused by leaks from the ship's fuel tanks and not the crude oil tanks.
