Relief over ‘Less Severe’ Freighter Fuel Spill source: Scotsman | Dec 14, 04 | submitted by Ryan

Alaska - US Coastguard chiefs say an oil and fuel spill from a freighter that broke in two when it ran aground off Alaska is probably thousands of gallons less than they feared.

Incident commander Capt Ron Morris said just 41,138 gallons of bunker fuel were inside the tank directly breached when the Malaysian soya bean freighter Selendang Ayu split in two last Wednesday on an Unalaska Island shoal.
