1. Amount of asphalt leakage to the sea | There were some reports stating that most of the 437KL (conversion temperature 15 degrees centigrade) of asphalt leaked to the sea but the actual amount according to our estimation is 72KL (conversion temperature 15 degrees centigrade). The asphalt which did leak to the sea is contained within the oil-fence and being recovered. But estimating from the floating oil in the sea, approximately 2KL has leaked outside the containment. |
