Salvors are close to ending further oil spills from a grounded bulker in the Solomon Islands.
They have removed 230 tonnes of bunkers from the 74,000-dwt Solomon Trader (built 1994), according to the vessel’s protection and indemnity insurer Korea P&I.
Lightering of the fuel oil from the stricken bulker began Sunday, it said, following the arrival of a tank barge brought in from Vanuatu.
