A minor spill of petroleum substances was reported in the Port of Ustka. Port services and fire units immediately activated emergency response procedures, securing the affected area and spraying the water surface with a neutralizing agent to disperse the oil sheen.

Thanks to the prompt and coordinated action, the spill was contained within a short time and prevented from spreading beyond the port basin. Port operations continued without disruption, and the environmental risk was assessed as minimal.
How to respond to an oil spill
If traces of oil or petroleum products are observed on the water surface, it is crucial to immediately notify the port authority or fire services. Attempting to remove or disperse the contamination independently is not advised — such actions require certified agents and professional supervision.
Rapid reporting remains the key to minimizing environmental impacts and ensuring an effective response.

Szanowny Panie redaktorze - czy widział Pan w miejscu neutralizacj substancji ropopochodnej Straż Pożarną i lub służby portowe ? Przecież nawet na zdjęciach ich nie widać. Neutralizację przeprowadziła wyłącznie Morska Służba Poszukiwania I Ratownictwa SAR, Ratownicy Brzegowej Stacji Ratowniczej SAR w Ustce.

Właśnie siedzimy na plaży przy jednostkach wojskowych. Plaża śmierdzi ropą, a na piasku mazut klei się do butów. Info o noewielkim i zneutralizowanym wycieku to fejk, a nie news. ????
