一艘船在格陵兰海岸沉没，柴油泄漏，威胁到北极水域脆弱的海洋生态系统，一队消防队员试图控制泄漏的柴油。
据报道，该船在周三至周四晚上撞上了礁石，然后搁浅。警方表示，在南部的纳诺塔利克峡湾的水面上可以看到碳氢化合物薄膜。
尽管安装了泵和浮动拦河坝，仍有大约2万升或5300加仑的燃油泄漏并流入峡湾。
消防员表示，风、潮汐和洋流等因素给控制漏油造成了额外的困难，他们还获得了额外的设备。
幸运的是，“阿道夫·詹森”号客轮上的所有人都安全撤离。
这艘悬挂格陵兰国旗的30米长的船，除了1000升机油外，油箱里还装载了1.5万至2万升柴油。
环境和民防部请求丹麦海军北极司令部帮助清理泄漏的燃料。
警方指示该地区的所有船只保持谨慎，缓慢行驶，以尽量减少对水域的干扰。

A team of firefighters tried to manage a spill of diesel fuel which leaked from a ship that sunk off the coast of Greenland, threatening the delicate marine ecosystem of the Arctic waters.
The vessel had reportedly hit a reef and then ran aground on the night of Wednesday to Thursday. Police mentioned that hydrocarbon films could be seen on the water surface in Nanortalik Fjords in the south.
Around 20,000 litres or 5300 gallons of fuel spilt and reached the fjord even though pumps and a floating barrage were installed.
Elements including wind, tides and sea currents posed additional difficulties in efforts to contain the oil spill, said firefighters who had also received additional equipment.
Luckily, all onboard the passenger vessel ‘Adolf Jensen’ evacuated safely.
The 30 m long ship sailing the flag of Greenland, was loaded with 15,000 to 20,000 litres of diesel fuel in its tanks, apart from 1000 litres of engine oil.
The Environment and Civil Protection Ministry requested help from the Arctic Command of the Danish Navy to help clean the leaked fuel.
Police instructed all the ships in the area to be cautious and tread slowly to minimise the disturbance to water.
