How bad could he be a collision with the northern sea for the environment?

London – Monday Collision between the cargo ship and oil tank In the northern sea “has a high risk that the ecological disaster is in really important protected areas,” Naomi Biles, oil and gas campaign leads to the oceans in the UK, the eco-friendly group said on the oceans.

The UK shore stated that the established zone of exclusion is about half miles around both boats, which were no longer stuck.

“At this stage, it is too early to assess the environment of environment,” said the seriousness of any influence, if any, if any, if any, if any, if any, if any, if any, them, if any, if any, if any if there are if there are if there are if there are if there are if any if there are if there are if there are if any, if any, if any, if any, There are, if any, if any, if any, if any, if there are, if any, if any.

The Great British Coast said that his pollution counter and the Salvent team “evaluated the situation” and “developing a plan ready for implementation as soon as the situation allows.”

For air quality in the area, it was reported normally, and there was a “very low” public health in the nearby coasts, the health care agency in the UK.

“It’s really hard to know at this stage, what is in water and how it behaves, but almost in any circumstances, it’s bad news,” Tilley said for CBS news.

Tanker collision near protected marine areas

The North Sea is home to a series of protected sea animals, as well as vital fishing stocks for the UK and other European countries.

The UK Ocean believes that the collision takes place near two protected areas, including a protected southern sea-protected area, which is marked for the protection of the port of Porpoise, said Tilley.

“It’s a really important area of ​​breeding and a really much of the global population is in the area,” she said.

Harbor Porpoise is a “kind to come to the surface to breathe, so it will not easily be able to avoid smooth on the surface,” Tilley said for CBS.

Meanwhile, in the meantime, the holder of the shielded sea-protected area, in the meantime it is for the safety of the marine bottom habitat.

“It has an ocean, who live for centuries. Somehow these shells are really long-lasting. And things are really important parts of the sea and if not where this incident said,” said that incident, “said this incident.

Possible contaminants

Both boats involved in the collision would have their own fuel to drive, and the American tanker that was affected, MV rocks of the flag, also carried jet fuel, towards Crowley, the American logistics group that operates the American logistics group.

Jet fuel is toxic to the sea life, and Crowley said some of it were released in crash.

“The rocks flawlessly lasted a ruptured cargo tank containing jet-a1 fuel due to a collision,” Crowley said in a statement to reporters Reuters. “That’s why a fire appeared.”

It was still unclear on Tuesday how much jet fuel was released and how many might be burned in the fire.

The initial reports stated that the containers carrying sodium cyanide on another ship, the cargo ship of the Portuguese flag called MV Solong. Sodium cyanide is a toxic substance that quickly evaporates and could create hazardous air conditions on the surface of the crew water and cleaning animals.

A ship company that manages the boat, however, Ernst rust, said on Tuesday that there were no containers containing sodium cyanide in Solong, but that there were a four-storey that was previously containing chemicals and were monitored.

Potential risks for the fishing industry – and consumers

Tilley said collision pollution could influence fish stock in the northern sea and people who rely on them.

“The north sea is an extremely important fishing area in the UK, but also European fishing fleet,” Tilley said.

The scope of any environmental pollution is still unknown, but this could have really long-term influences for the community, as if they finish the chemicals in the water. If this affects fish and fish population, then it could have an impact on the fishing industry. ”

Tilley noted that the previous large poured oils “resulted in a rather huge area in which fishing was not allowed due to contaminated fish for a long time.”
