Canadian Navy Ship Spills Nearly 8,000 Gallons of Fuel Oil Into Strait of Georgia
February 26, 2018 - Canadian authorities are working to clean up nearly 8,000 gallons of marine fuel oil that was spilled from the Canadian navy ship HMCS Calgary in the Strait of Georgia on Canada’s west coast over the weekend. Canada’s Maritime Forces Pacific has launched an investigation to determine the cause of the spill. However, according to initial reports, the HMCS Calgary was underway in the strait’s shipping lanes when the spill occurred during an internal fuel transfer on Saturday morning. Approximately 30,000 (7,925 gallons) of F-76 marine fuel oil was spilled in the incident, Maritime Forces Pacific reported. At this point, the fuel spill response is still in its initial stages and too early to determine a timeline for clean-up and environmental impact. http://gcaptain.com/canadian-navy-ship-spills-nearly-8000-gallons-of-fuel-oil-into-strait-of-georgia/
