The damaged hull of a Greek tanker is seen after colliding with a container ship 30 kilometers (20 miles) off the Dutch coast, Oct. 12, 2010. (Xinhua/AFP Photo) SCHEVENINGEN, the Netherlands, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- A Greek tanker carrying aviation fuel collided with a Cypriot container ship at around 0700 Tuesday morning, leaving a hole leaking fuel from the tanker. "The situation is under control," local media reported. The collision happened 30 km west of Scheveningen, a small town famous for its beautiful beach, located near The Hague. The hole increased from five to six meters, which sits right on the water, leaking fuel. But according to Dutch Coast Guard, the pollution to the environment till now is not so bad. "It evaporates very quickly," said a spokesman. Besides, a favorable wind from the coast drives the fuel far away from the coast. However, the aviation fuel is very explosive, the danger remains. "But the Coast Guard has the situation under control," local media reported. There are 25 people on board the tanker and 12 on the container ship, nobody were injured. The container ship is little damaged, and the captain has requested continued to sail to Rotterdam.Collision off dutch coast causes fuel leak - China Tin Tea Canisters - Metal Tin BucketCollision off dutch coast causes fuel leak - China Tin Tea Canisters - Metal Tin BucketCollision off dutch coast causes fuel leak - China Tin Tea Canisters - Metal Tin BucketCollision off dutch coast causes fuel leak - China Tin Tea Canisters - Metal Tin BucketCollision off dutch coast causes fuel leak - China Tin Tea Canisters - Metal Tin BucketCollision off dutch coast causes fuel leak - China Tin Tea Canisters - Metal Tin BucketCollision off dutch coast causes fuel leak - China Tin Tea Canisters - Metal Tin BucketCollision off dutch coast causes fuel leak - China Tin Tea Canisters - Metal Tin BucketCollision off dutch coast causes fuel leak - China Tin Tea Canisters - Metal Tin BucketCollision off dutch coast causes fuel leak - China Tin Tea Canisters - Metal Tin Bucket I am an expert from metaltincontainer.com, while we provides the quality product, such as China Tin Tea Canisters , Metal Tin Bucket, Tin Cookie Containers,and more.
