Oil spill in western Finland

The "Kapella", underway from Turku to Kapellskar on June 29, 2011, caused an oil spill in the eastern part of the Sottunga Bay. The spill was 35 kilometers long and was discovered by a helicopter from the border guards. The leakage could be stopped and the vessel was allowed to proceed one hour later. The Coast Guard was unable to recover the oil as it was too scattered. It was also unknown how large amounts were spilt.
