The slick had caused difficulties for almost 100 fishermen afflicted with leprosy since it appeared on earlier this month, said ward peoples committee chairman Nguyen Duc Toan. |
The slick has been attributed to the salvaging of scrap iron from a foreign tanker that was wrecked three years ago.
And although the ward Peoples Committee has complained to the responsible agencies about the slick, it has not been dissipated.
Quy Nhon City Natural Resources and Environment Department director Phan Thanh Dam said he would ask provincial Peoples Committee to suspend the Kim Trieu Companys salvage operation.
The company would also be ordered to dissipate the oil slick and any pollution, he said.
