A Greek island is suffering from an “ecological disaster” after a tanker carrying more than 2,000 tons of crude oil sunk close to the island of Salamis.
In a statement, the local government said: “The damage is great. The thick oil spreads throughout the bay and washes up on the shore. The municipality will take legal action for damages and full liability of the ecological disaster. Greek ministries of Marine and Environment have accelerated efforts and send more resources to work against the pollution.
It is not yet known how the tanker sank but it is reported that two members of the crew were rescued.
