Spill from oil leak in utility vessel
On Oct 15, 2015, around 6:00 a.m. diesel leaked from the "Nijptangh" into the port of Cherbourg where the barge was working. The maritime prefecture and the French Navy responded to the spill with antipollution teams from the naval base at Cherbourg, the fire brigade tugs, pumping means and a floating boom around a fish farm. An EC225 helicopter of the Navy, stationed in Maupertus, conducted two observation flights in the area. The divers group of the Channel also assisted by conducting an inspection of the hull. Fishing and navigation were restricted in the affected area. Photos and video: https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/5b9f44692b70002046793e660873fbd720151015171932/6f9f1f
