Therefore, it is certain that if supported with strong evidence, Sri Lanka can claim significant remuneration for the damages caused by the X-Press Pearl. They must be required to strictly adhere to their duties and responsibilities in assisting Sri Lanka without creating further problems. One example is that there is no harm caused to the marine ecosystem of the country from the X-Press Pearl destruction. Thirdly, as it was already mentioned, all the dead marine animals are not washed up onto the beaches. On 22 July, The Morning reported that an oil sheen was visible around the debris of the MV X-Press Pearl.
