An active phase of collecting oil, discharged into waters of the Bay of Chazhma in Primorye a week ago, has been completed, Alexander Sergienko said in an interview with Interfax agency. Mr. Sergienko, the head of the Primoye Sea Supervising Department of Rosprirodnadzor’s Far Eastern Department says the emergency team has already collected some 3.5 tons of oil waste products.
"The oil spillage area is being currently fenced by booms to prevent further leakage of fuel from the sunk boat" Mr. Sergienko said.
He told the news agency that a schooner Neptune sank on April 7th at the pier of the 30th Shipyard Plant. Earlier the boat had been arrested by the court decision at the request of the Russian Border Guard Agency and handed over to a commercial firm for safekeeping. The company in turn contracted with the military enterprise and the ship was docked at on of its piers.
