The Greek Ship Manager Delta Tankers Denied Its Involvement in the Crude Oil Spill Off the Coast of Brazil That Has Kept the Country’s Response Agencies Busy for the Last Two Months

Brazilian authorities said on November 1st that the Greek-flagged tanker Bouboulina, which was carrying Venezuelan oil, was responsible for the spill. Delta Tankers denied this, stating that a thorough review of the material from the cameras and sensors that all of its vessels carry as part of their safety and environmental policies revealed no evidence that the Bouboulina could be responsible for the spill.

“There is no evidence that the ship stopped, conducted any type of STS (ship-to-ship) operation, leaked/spilled oil, slowed down, or altered its course during its passage from Venezuela to Melaka, Malaysia”, the company said.

The company added that it would share its materials with Brazilian authorities if they reached out to the company, noting that no contact had been made so far.

The oil spill, estimated to have occurred on July 28 and 29, affected 2,500 km of the Brazilian coast, hitting at least 120 sites in 77 municipalities. The Brazilian Environmental Agency IBAMA previously stated that the substance was ‘crude oil’ of a type not produced in Brazil.
