Ot­to Car­ring­ton

There is no threat of oil con­t­a­m­i­na­tion in Ch­aguara­mas from the car­go ves­sel Hein, which is still par­tial­ly sub­merged af­ter it ran aground on the south­ern side of Monos Is­land.

The in­ci­dent ini­tial­ly raised con­cerns about a po­ten­tial en­vi­ron­men­tal dis­as­ter but au­thor­i­ties and mar­itime pro­fes­sion­als yes­ter­day con­firmed that the ves­sel is not cur­rent­ly leak­ing hy­dro­car­bons in­to the sea.
