波多黎各圣胡安港发生大规模石油泄漏事件，引起了美国海岸警卫队的注意，大约1000加仑的燃油在彪马能源公司燃料码头转移过程中泄漏。

漏油事件发生在11月27日晚上，当时燃油正从“Dubai Green”号油轮向码头输送。

船员们发现海面上有一层油膜，长约100米，宽约4米，立即停止了作业。海岸警卫队在晚上7点30分左右收到报告，并迅速派遣小组前往泄漏现场。

在海岸警卫队迅速采取行动后，泄漏被阻止，大部分燃料被控制在码头区域内。彪马能源公司雇佣的清理人员已经放置了大约1000英尺的浮动屏障，即所谓的围油栏，以防止石油进一步扩散。

他们现在正在努力从水中清除燃料，并检查是否有任何可能泄漏的石油。

海岸警卫队正在密切监督清理工作，并与包括环境保护局（EPA）、国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）以及波多黎各自然和环境资源部等在内的机构进行协调。

官员们也在寻找任何野生动物受到影响的迹象。

海岸警卫队联邦现场协调员杰米·泰斯塔（Jamie Testa）讨论了为此类事件做好准备的重要性。他补充说，他们正在确保所有资源到位，以尽可能地清洁和保护环境。

这些事件也提醒我们，对燃料设施和船舶来说，制定强有力的应对计划并定期实践是多么重要。

海岸警卫队警告当地渔民和公众远离泄漏区域，避免接触任何燃料。在清理工作完成之前，该地区禁止捕鱼或其他活动。

清理工作预计需要几天时间，各团队将努力确保圣胡安港再次安全。

圣胡安湾长3.5英里（5.6公里），是岛上最繁忙的港口。它是毗邻波多黎各圣胡安老城的海湾和主要入口。

A massive oil spill in San Juan Harbour, Puerto Rico, has grabbed the attention of the U.S. Coast Guard after about 1,000 gallons of fuel was leaked during a transfer at the Puma Energy fuel dock.



The spill happened on the evening of November 27, when the fuel was being pumped from the tanker Dubai Green to the dock.



Crew members spotted an oily sheen spreading on the water, about 100 meters long and 4 meters wide, and immediately shut down the operation. The Coast Guard received the report around 7:30 p.m. and quickly dispatched teams to the spill site.



The leak was stopped after swift action by the Coast Guard, and most of the fuel was contained within the dock area. Cleanup crews hired by Puma Energy have placed around 1,000 feet of floating barriers, known as booms, to prevent the oil from spreading further.



They are now working to remove the fuel from the water and check for any pockets of oil that may have escaped.



The Coast Guard is closely overseeing the cleanup, coordinating with agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and Puerto Rico’s Department of Natural and Environmental Resources.



Officials are also looking for any signs of wildlife being affected.



Jamie Testa, the Coast Guard’s Federal On-Scene Coordinator, discussed the importance of being prepared for such incidents. He added that they are making sure all the resources are in place to clean and protect the environment as much as possible.



Such incidents also remind us how important it is for fuel facilities and ships to have a strong response plan and practice them regularly.



The Coast Guard has cautioned local fishermen and the public to stay away from the spill area and avoid touching any fuel. Fishing or other activities in the area are also off-limits until the cleanup is completed.



The clean-up operation is expected to take several days, with teams working hard to ensure San Juan Harbour is safe again.



San Juan Bay is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) in length and is home to the island’s busiest harbour. It is the bay and main inlet adjacent to Old San Juan in Puerto Rico.
