Sanchi Tanker Collision Oil Spill

Sanchi Tanker Collision Oil Spill

Sanchi oil spill contamination could take three months to reach mainland. Water contaminated by the oil currently leaking into the ocean from the Sanchi tanker collision is likely to take at least three months to reach land, and if it does the Korean coast is the most likely location. However, the oil’s fate is highly uncertain, as it may burn, evaporate, or mix into the surface ocean and contaminate the environment for an extended duration. Source 9i.
