散货船“OS 35”号在直布罗陀部分沉没,据报道影响了英国领土和西班牙附近一个城镇的海上活动和捕鱼,救援队正在努力减轻新漏油的影响。
直布罗陀港务局补充说,周末恶劣的天气引发了泄漏。
当局表示,周二天气好转,他们可以在船只周围设置拦油栅,以控制泄漏。
直布罗陀的两个海滩和西班牙La Línea de La Concepcionón的一个海滩被关闭,工人们无法清理这些海滩上的油污。
“OS 35”号于8月29日与另一艘船相撞。大部分燃料是从船上泵出的,但第一周泄漏的一些燃料到达了海滩,影响了港口和捕鱼活动。
位于La Línea的市政厅报告称,撞船事件发生后,附近地区的捕鱼活动已被暂停。同时补充说,最近的漏油事件没有第一次那么严重。
直布罗陀有关当局表示,该船目前停泊在浅水海底,断成两半。
直布罗陀港进一步补充说,最新的石油泄漏涉及船上的石油可能无法用泵清除。救援队尚未决定从该地区清除沉船的最合适方法。

Teams are striving to mitigate the impacts of a new oil leakage from a cargo vessel that is partly sunken in Gibraltar that has reportedly affected bathing and fishing in the British territory and a town located close by in Spain, officials mentioned on Wednesday.
The Gibraltar Port authority added the poor weather over the weekend had triggered the leak.
The authority said that better weather on Tuesday permitted the placement of a boom around the vessel to contain the spill.
Two beaches based in Gibraltar and one in Spain’s f La Línea de La Concepción were closed and workers were unable to clean them of oil wastes.
The ship ran into a collision with another vessel on 29 August. Most of the fuel was pumped out of the vessel but some that leaked during the first week reached the beaches, and impacted port and fishing activities.
The town hall located in La Línea has reported that fishing in the surrounding areas has reportedly been suspended after the collision. It added that the latest oil leak wasn’t as large as the first one.
The ship was broken in two. It is now resting on the seabed in the shallow waters, the relevant authorities based in Gibraltar stated.
Gibraltar Port further added that the latest oil spill involved oil onboard that may not be gotten rid of with pumps. Salvage teams are yet to decide on the most appropriate way to get rid of the shipwreck from the area.
