Oil Spill In Sea

The images show the partially submerged vessel and the oil slick (black) which now extends many miles in the Caribbean Sea to the west of the island.

The oil spill in Chennai that originated from the refinery of Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd (CPCL) has now crossed at least 20 square kilometre into the sea, said the coast guard.

She emerged from the ocean just before midnight, clambering up the shore as her ancestors have for 200 million years. Only stars glowed on this remote beach, where the sea turtle arrived to lay her eggs. She dodged plastic, fishing nets and oil spills to get this far. But another threat to her species lurks in the ground: sand temperatures that fos...

The front section of an Iranian oil tanker that has been on fire for days off the east China coast has exploded, forcing rescue boats searching for 31 missing sailors to retreat and sparking environmental concerns.

Hundreds of Coast Guard men, engineering students and fishermen are using their hands to clear a giant oil spill in the sea near Chennai, with a machine proving useless in pumping out the thickening sludge. Tonnes of oil spilled into the sea when two cargo ships collided on Saturday. Environmentalists are worried because nearly half a dozen turtles...

The oil spill on the seas near Chennai, caused by the collision of two cargo ships on Saturday, has turned out to be much larger than expected. While the Ennore port had estimated that only 1 tonne of oil has been spilt, the Coast Guard has said the amount is no less than 20 tonnes - a huge threat to the marine life in the area.

An oil spill along the coastline at Ennore, outside Chennai, is polluting several beaches, including the iconic Marina, after two ships collided at Ennore port's anchorage on Saturday.

The Deepwater Horizon disaster of 2010 taught us a lot about deep water - foremost about the engineering challenges in plugging a blown-out well a mile below the sea's surface. Everything's different down there. Chemistry is different at those pressures, where it's completely dark. But, as we reported early on, there's still life down there - exoti...

In view of the possibility of oil spill in the sea near Gujarat coast due to heavy traffic of ships, the State Forest and Environment department has decided to prepare a risk mitigation and response plan to save the fragile eco-system and underwater habitat of marine species.

Three days after a Dornier aircraft of the Coast Guard which went missing off Chennai, the search operations team found an oil spill in the sea on Thursday.
