COLOMBO, Sept 4 (Reuters) - A senior Sri Lankan navy
official on Friday said there is no real danger of an oil spill
from the stricken supertanker MT New Diamond, which caught fire
in the seas off the island nation on Thursday.
Director-General of Operations Rear-Admiral Y N Jayarathna
told reporters it is the navy's view that there is no real
danger of a spill because the fire on the ship has been
contained in the rear section of the vessel.
