An estimated 40 tons of oil has leaked the Fu Shan Hai’s tanks, and 10 tons have been collected by the environmental vessels “Mette Miljø”, “Gunnar Thorsen” from Denmark, and “202” from Sweden.
When Fu Shan Hai sank, it had the following onboard:
1680 tons of heavy fuel oil
110 tons of diesel on board
6500 tons of fertilizer

The owners of the polish vessel “Gdynia” has previously paid aprox. 84 million danish kroner to the owners of Fu Shan Hai.
