People are also using empty oil drums to scoop up as much oil as possible from shallower waters. The vessel ran aground near Blue Bay Marine Park off the coast of southeast Mauritius on July 25. "Now this might all be killed again by the oil spill." "First of all, we are doing the utmost to prevent further oil spill and to remove it from the sea," said Akihiko Ono, vice-president of Mitsui O.S.K. The shipowner and operator are working with a salvage ship to lift the tanker while trying to prevent any further oil leaks.
