Oil has been observed leaking from a product tanker feared to be breaking up after grounding on Reunion Island.
A statement from the French Indian Ocean island’s government said a flyover by a helicopter on Sunday had revealed fuel spilling from a hull breach in the 2,900-dwt Tresta Star (built 2019).
The Indian-owned tanker grounded on a rocky beach on 3 February after losing power during Cyclone Batsirai.
