The tfa says they used a helicopter to remove the remaining 3000 T or so of pull left on the ship.
So they had the resources, just not the motivation at the time the ship wasn’t spilling.
- js2 6y agoThis later video seems to indicate they don’t have much in the way of resources. I see guys in small fishing boats and a single helicopter dropping two drums at a time. https://youtu.be/CKICk5LY2xg https://youtu.be/CKICk5LY2xg
- TylerE 6y agoNo they didn't. You're not visualizing how much 3,000 tonnes is. The classic drum of oil is 42 gallons and weighs 300lbs - just the oil - the actual drum itself is another 40 or so. 3,000T = 20,000 barrels. Of course, the oil in the ship isn't barreled, it's in giant compartments. This ship wasn't even a oil tanker...this is the actual fuel tanks of the ship itself leaking.
