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.
