oil spill in fremantle harbour


Oil giant BP was today unable to say how much oil had spilled into Fremantle Harbour following a “regrettable” accident at its North Quay terminal operations.

A spokesman for the group initially said between 90 and 100 litres of a diesel and oil mixture had escaped from a “pin-hole” leak in one of its pipelines into Fremantle Harbour.

However, the spokesman later suggested the initial estimate had been “optimistic” and the true amount of leaked oil would not be known until the clean-up was finished
