Generator caused small oil spill

A fuel spill next to the "Nautilus" at Ogden Point breakwater in the morning of Feb 1, 2016, has been contained. The ship has been moored at Ogden Point for the last few months. The spill was reported to B.C.’s Environmental Emergencies line shortly after 9:30 a.m. A leak from thepower generator on the dock had released a quantity of fuel oil onto the side of the quay and into the water. The amount was reported as small and boomed. Pads were put out immediately to contain the spill, but proved to be inadequate, allowing some fuel to escape. A responder estimated the spill at 10 to 20 litres. Ministry staff contacted the vessel’s representative, who in turn activated the Western Canada Marine Response Corporation to contain the spill Report with photo: http://www.timescolonist.com/news/local/ship-s-generator-leaks-fuel-at-ogden-point-1.2163261#sthash.esoYfvY4.dpuf
