There has been some good news this week about the bulk carrier OS35 which was beached off Catalan Bay after a collision: divers have managed to find and empty several oil pockets trapped in the frame of the hull which have been seeping fuel into the sea recently. In recent days only a minimal amount of oil has escaped the boom around the ship, and work is ongoing to reduce this even more.
