TOKYO -- Nearly half the roughly 1,000 tons of oil spilled from a ship that ran aground off the coast of Mauritius has been recovered, according to information provided by operator Mitsui O.S.K. Lines on Tuesday.
Volunteers and workers have removed about 460 tons of fuel oil from the Indian Ocean and the coast of Mauritius since the July 25 accident involving the Panama-flagged bulk carrier Wakashio, which was carrying about 4,000 tons of oil.
