A ship has been detained by the Port Authority for spilling oil into the Bay during bunkering operations.

The Panama-flagged bulk carrier Blue Bosporus notified the Port at seven this morning; the spill was reported to be in the region of 20 litres.

The Ministry of the Port says the GPA immediately activated its oil spill contingency plan, and also notified Algecirasport authorities.
