    Just imagine the SOLAR 1 carried 2 million liters (528,360 gallons) of fuel oil..ohhh another problem again.....residents of coastal villages who rely on fishing are temporarily without livelihood and they even got sick.

    “The spill itself could take months or even years to clean up. This shows how ill-prepared we are for this type of disaster,” said Von Hernandez, Southeast Asia campaign director for the environmental group Greenpeace."

    We perfectly know it as in the last 40 years we had in France several similar (or worst) cases in Brittany.

    One example: March 16, 1978 Amoco Cadiz supertanker dragged on north Britanny coast and 230000 tons of oil went to the sea and 300km of coast were polluted.



    Nota: Scotsfiance, your conversion is not good 2.000.000 liters is 440.000 gals (you us the US value instead of the UK one: Imperial Gallon).
    Best regards.
