CLEAN : Concerns on fuel leak as Spanish ship hits

The transcript discusses a maritime incident involving a shipwreck and the subsequent measures taken to control potential pollution. Initially, the focus was on rescuing people, but attention has shifted to managing the marine fuel left in the ship's forward tanks. The volatile nature of the fuel reduces the risk of surface pollution. The ship's rear section likely sank, dispersing the fuel into the water. Despite bad weather, efforts are underway to mitigate risks, with plans to inspect the ship's forward section to assess the fuel situation.

What was the primary concern after ensuring the safety of people?

• Improving weather conditions

• Rescuing marine animals

• Preventing fuel pollution

• Repairing the ship

What type of fuel was on the ship, and why is it less likely to cause surface pollution?

• Kerosene, because it is light

• Gasoline, because it evaporates quickly

• Marine diesel oil, because it is volatile

• Crude oil, because it is dense

What happened to the ship's hull, and how did it affect the fuel?

• It was repaired, preventing any fuel leakage

• It sank, causing the fuel to disperse in the water

• It was towed away, removing the fuel risk

• It remained intact, keeping the fuel contained

What external factor is considered in the situation?

• The ship's age

• The ship's cargo

• The weather conditions

• The crew's experience

What is the plan for inspecting the ship's forward section?

• Sending divers to inspect underwater

• Waiting for better weather to proceed

• Climbing with a firefighter's ladder to check the fuel tank

• Using a drone to survey the area
