Oz_Steve Posted August 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2013 There seems to have been a spill of oil and insulation foam in Suva Harbour. The paper reports there is a cruise ship there as well. Any ideas which one? This is what the spill looks like. http://www.fijitimes.com/story.aspx?id=242467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted August 13, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2013 No idea as to the ship, most likely P&O. I don't know why they don't do something more permanent to fix the issue, as they say it happens a couple times a year.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wont be P&O, One is in dry dock (Pacific Jewel), ones in Cairns (Yorkeys Knob) (Pacific Dawn) and ones at the Isle Of Pines today (Pacific Pearl) and also wont be Carnival Spirit, as she's at sea today (and all the Princess Australia ships are no where near there).

Carnival Spirit ... Suva, Fiji (12 Aug 0700-1600); Sea Princess ... Suva, Fiji (26 Aug 0700-1600); Carnival Spirit ... Suva, Fiji (30 Aug 0700-1600); editing to add... must have been Spirit as the article , dated today , says it happened yesterday.. Spill triggers harbour alarm Daniel Naidu Tuesday, August 13, 2013 This ugly sight is what greeted tourists who disembarked from a cruise liner in Suva yesterday. Debris from a ship filled the Suva Harbour, to the disgust of local boat owners and authorities. RUBBISH and oil covered parts of the Suva Harbour yesterday morning as a large spill sparked a major environmental concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can think of is lagging being stripped and dumped into the harbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very peculiar, it could be just insulation and oil etc coming out with the bilge water or even with the ballast on a cargo ship.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
