Authorities are investigating a 70-foot-by-30-foot oil sheen reported in the ocean in the same location as last month's spill off Orange County.
State and federal authorities are investigating an oil sheen spotted in the ocean near the ruptured pipeline that caused last month’s oil spill off Orange County, officials said.
He said the sheen covers an area 70 feet by 30 feet, likening it the multicolored swirls that appear in the water when diesel gas is spilled at a boat dock.The Oct. 2 spill released between 24,696 gallons and 131,000 gallons of oil into the San Pedro Channel. Authorities believe the leak was caused by a ship’s anchor hitting and rupturing a pipeline that runs from an oil processing platform off Huntington Beach to the Port of Long Beach.
A Coast Guard investigator determined that the Beijing was involved in an anchor-dragging incident on Jan. 25 during heavy weather at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, officials said in a statement, and the Coast Guard has designated the ship’s owner, Capetanissa of Liberia, and operator, V-Ships Greece Ltd., as parties of interest.
