SHANDONG: Hundreds of tons of oil might have leaked into the sea after a tanker collision off Qingdao, East China’s Shandong Province. Maritime authorities have sent a dozen vessels to the site for an emergency clean-up, the Shandong Maritime Safety Administration (MSA) told the Global Times on Wednesday.

The Suezmax tanker A Symphony registered in Liberia had a hole about six to seven meters long and two meters wide above the sea surface after being rammed by an inbound Panamanian bulk carrier Sea Jus tice while the tanker was at anchor, an official of the Command Center of the MSA who asked to remain anonymous revealed to the Global Times.
