Vancouver Bunker Fuel Spill April 2015

The nice shiny bits on the water are actually patches of toxic bunker fuel from the bulk carrier Marathassa. The ship had been in the Port of Vancouver, loading grain.

News story here.

Update here. They apparently aren't sure what the "oily substance" is, and they can't confirm that the suspected ship is really the culprit (the Marathassa's Master denies it). Oh and it took 13 hours for the Port of Vancouver to inform the City that there was a spill in the first place. I thought that the Port of Vancouver, of all ports, would have a good, solid procedure in place in the event of a spill. WTF
