Fears oil ship will fall apart

17 Aug 2021

Seyðisfjörður, East, Iceland

Despite extensive and expensive work last summer to prevent further oil leaks from the Second World War shipwreck El Grillo, in Seyðisfjörður, oil is still leaking into the sea. It is thought the wreck still contains some 10-15 tonnes of oil.
