Major HFO spill extends into Gambia River
The Gambia has acknowledged a heavy fuel oil (HFO) spill in the West Coast Region, seemingly caused by a ruptured pipeline.
The FT Sturla discharged a cargo on May 28, the National Environment Agency (NEA) has said, from 2:30 am to 3:30 am.
The HFO was discharged into an onshore tank owned by Gam Petroleum. The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) held an emergency meeting on May 29, with the company’s management.
