Olie fra 2. Verdenskrig op til overfladen

Efter 77 år på havets bund er et tankskib, der blev sænket af en tysk ubåd under 2. verdenskrig ud for den amerikanske østkyst, nu begyndt at lække olie. US Coast Guard overvejer derfor en tømning af skibets olietanke for at forhindre forurening.

Dykkere er i gang med at undersøge risikoen for større udslip..

Derfor har myndigheden hyret Resolve Marine Group til at gennemføre en undersøgelse, der skal vurdere mængden af olie i tankskibet Coimbra og hvilke miljømæssige risici, der fortsat eksisterer.

Hvis der fortsat er store mængder olie tilbage, og hvis det er muligt, vil US Coast Guard sammen med Resolve Marine Group fjerne olien fra skibet for at reducere risikoen for yderligere udslip og forurening, oplyser Coast Guard.

“Den igangværende undersøgelse vil hjælpe med at klarlægge og om muligt fjerne enhver potentiel trusler mod miljøet som tankeren udgør. Vores topprioritet er sikkerhed for offentligheden og beskyttelse af havmiljøet,” siger en talsmand for US Coast Guard.

Undersøgelsen startede den 28. april og ventes afsluttet den 30. maj.
