Extractions: The Web CNN.com Home Page World U.S. Weather ... Special Reports SERVICES Video E-Mail Services CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Story Tools MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) Firefighters struggled to contain a blaze on an oil tanker on Russia's Volga river Sunday and ecologists warned that tonnes of oil leaking from the vessel posed a serious environmental threat. Television reports showed plumes of black smoke sweeping above the river in central Russia as the tanker carrying 2,000 tonnes of light crude burned for a second day. Oil started to leak from the vessel in large quantities early Sunday, creating a 15-meter (50-foot) wide slick that officials said was drifting down the river. "Up to 700 tonnes of crude have leaked from the oil tanker Viktoria so far," a duty officer for the Transport Ministry's river department told Reuters. "The fire is yet to be put out as it has spread to the remaining oil on the tanker." River traffic had not been disrupted, the officer said. The spilt oil was contained inside a special boom, but had washed onto the riverbank in some places, he said. Emergency and environmental services were working to remove the oil. The fire broke out Saturday after an explosion occurred on the privately owned tanker, which is near the town of Sizran, about 700 kilometers (440 miles) east of Moscow. One crew member was killed by the blast, officials said.

Map of Area GALICIA, Spain 20 Nov (From Disaster-relief) - A crippled tanker carrying more than 20 million gallons (around 67,000 tons) of oil split in half off the northwest coast of Spain on Tuesday (Nov. 19), threatening one of the worst environmental disasters in history. The rear section of the Prestige sunk early in the day, taking many of the oil tanks with it. Should the tanks leak, the resulting spill would be more than twice the size of that caused by the 1989 Exxon Valdez accident, warned the World Wildlife Federation. Trouble began last Wednesday, when the Bahamian-flagged vessel encountered a violent storm about 150 miles off Spain's Atlantic coast, causing an oil tank to puncture. The leak already had spilled at least 2 million gallons of oil. The tanker also had a 30- to 50-foot crack in the hull below the waterline which made it unable to proceed under its own power while salvagers sought a port to do repairs or transfer the oil to another vessel....

Predictably, the govt. said once again that the oil spill is not going to threaten the coastal areas. According to the BBC, 12,000 tons have already been spilled. By any standards, that is a huge diasaster, yet somehow the federal govt. keeps putting out statements like: worst is over and there will be no more oil spill from the stranded oil tanker Tasman Spirit. Maritime experts say 12,000 metric tons of oil have spilled into the Arabian Sea while another 35,000 are still on board the Greek-registered Tasman Spirit. The Tasman Spirit still has 35,000 tonnes of crude on board BBC News The authorities are dancing all over the place now that the ship has sunk, but alas, the spill seems to be . To put things into perspective, in the most famous oil spill of them all, the Exxon Valdez diasaster, 38,800 metric tonnes of oil was spilled . In Karachi, 12,000 tonnes have already been spilled and with 35,000 still on the ship this has the potential to be a major disaster. In the Exxon Valdez spill, 38,000 tonnes coverd approximately 1,300 miles of shoreline. 12,000 tonnes by that math works out to be 412 miles of shoreline! Read more at the
