CHITTAGONG, July 1: Oil spilled in the Bay of Bengal waters as two oil tankers collided at the outer anchorage of the Chittagong Port early Friday morning.
Dhaka-bound Oil Tanker Bengal Spirit-1 carrying diesel collided with another tanker Partex-03 at the deep sea, nearly two nautical miles off buoy 02 of the outer anchorage about 2:45 am on Friday.
Coast Guard members of the CG patrol team helped discharge 80,000 litres of diesel from Bengal Spirit-1 with Coast Guard rescue ship MV Tauhid. An amount of oil leaked out of the tankers as their left sides got damaged just after the collision.
Legal measures under the process, he said.
