Celia at container terminal, oil spill at grounding site

The "Celia" will remain docked at the port of Valencia until the completion of investigation which will determine whether there was any negligence in the grounding. The ship was berthed at the Costa container terminal in the Port of Valencia. Meanwhile an oil spill was observed in the vicinity of the beach where rescue operations were continuing at the "BSLE Sunrise", which remained trapped in the sand in front of the Hotel Sidi Saler. The small entity was detected at noon by the Helimer-helicopter which must not have been related to one of the ships. One of the Maritime Rescue vessels collected samples of the oil to find out the origin.
