20,000 ltr escaped from Greek handysize bulk carrier front section

20,000 litres of fuel oil escaped from the front section of the Greek handysize bulk carrier Server last Saturday. The vessel was wrecked on the rocks off Fedje north of Bergen on January 12. The vessel broke in two and the front section was towed to the offshore base Ågotnes. Eide Marine Services, is contracted to salvage the front section and a subcontractor, hired in to empty the fuel oil into a barge, left the operation unattended for a period of time. Nobody discovered the leak during the pumping operation until the alarm was raised by people ashore who could smell the fuel oil. By a stroke of luck no oil reached the shore.
