460 Tons of oil was manually recovered from the coast and the sea, however, the ship was carrying 3800 tons of very low sulfur fuel oil. Apart from that 200 tons of diesel oil was also present in the vessel. In Mauritius, a state of Environmental Emergency is being observed. The major oil spill is an environmental crisis for Mauritius, as well as its closer to the coast, near the pristine lagoon. The spill is said to be close to two environmentally protected ecosystems in the Marine Bay. The MV Wakashio was destined to Brazil from China when it ran aground on the reef in late July.
