Overview
- The 40‑meter by 6‑meter Santo Antco sank on February 19 in Vigo's Bouzas dock, releasing diesel from its tanks.
- The Port Authority of Vigo launched a pollution‑control operation using containment booms and absorbents to limit hydrocarbons.
- Specialist contractor Botamavi was engaged alongside Port Police, sustainability staff, Segem, Northcondiving, divers and cranes.
- Port sources reported the discharge had eased and containment prevented the slick from spreading to other areas.
- Refloating and removal of the wreck are in progress, with damage and environmental assessments continuing in the coming hours.
