Race to clean up Indian Ocean oil spill

If there were no limit to compensation damages, each "accident" would bankrupt a company.

Typical... corporations waited until it spilled rather than sending in teams to deal with it on day one...

Japan apologized Japan sending a team to assist with the cleanup Ship ran aground July 25th and its now the middle of August Step it up!!!!!

whichever company or country owns the ship/oil should pay towards the full clean up and restoration of the environmental damage.

Every year there's a new record breaking oil spill. People will act like they care for 2 weeks and a month later corporations will remember how much money they can make and once again sacrifice safety for dollar signs

Sad, half to see some international help coming through, hopefully the oil companies send there own clean up teams to assist, they are the ones with bottomless pockets

Back to Earth the oil shall go. Back to where it was taken from.,,

this is why BC doesn't want oil shipping off its coast

Damn 2020 is insane

Another example why we need to invest trillions annually to build our renewably powered global economy. Regional wind farms with distributed solar PV and high insulation along with electric heated floors backed up with Tesla 3 MW grid batteries and bidirectional electric vehicles.

because of the need for oil, many water-ways have been destroyed forever. wtg oil industry.

shippers need proper response equipment easily available

The cost of doing busines is all the oil company cares about. Fines bankrupt you? Just re open as another limited company

why....why was it sailing near a coral reef?

Yes, humans have much to learn still.

That boat i swear was like a mile long

mushrooms are also really good for soaking up oil spills. a concerted effort should be made to grow mycelium nets that can be laid on the surface around the ship to soak up the oil and possibly even extract and refine it at a later point in time. Japan is really into mushrooms, they should be paying their mushroom farmers to produce nets. And the rest of Japan should pay penance for this atrocity against aquatic habitats by giving up eels for at least a year to allow the worldwide populations to grow and make up for the loss of life in the Indian Ocean.

i feel so sad for the animals

When we going to be solar, I would build one for myself if I had access to an affordable and good system

1000 tones?? Why does different with the other report??
