Oil slick at Dar port

An oil slick whose source has not been found was recently noted at the Dar es Salaam port near the oil jetty. The Guardiam reported recently in Dar es Salaam. According to the reports, some people who had noted the slick had rushed to the area to try to collect it. The acting zone police commander Charles Kenyela said police had set up patrol and confirmed that the slick was floating about 500meters to 1km from the Kurasini oil jetty. “Up to this moment, we don’t know the exact source of the fuel leakage, but there is a slick in the sea, so there must be a serious leakage some where” said Kenyela.
