Marine oil spill disaster in Central are close to ... disaster but recovery capabilities were limited. The central provinces are asking for help!

The onshore oil collection difficult

Talking to BBC 4/2 day, Chairman Nguyen Duc Quang Nam Hai said: "We have sent a document to support the proposal PRIVATE means and remedies for oil spills. Also suggested the government called on international organizations with experience handling oil spills help.

Determining cause oil spills from offshore entirely beyond the ability of the province. Without timely measures to prevent the waters of Quang Nam and Central localities will inevitably an environmental disaster, the consequences will be very unpredictable! ".

It can be said, speaking of the Chairman of Quang Nam is also much plea before the Central Local sudden disaster and peril not know from where to pull this. After 1 week, with much effort, Quang Nam, Da Nang and other localities are still very embarrassing situation. The past remedies only for immediate response and not really effective, when offshore oil spill itself from the shore, picked out this class to other classes.

In Quang Ngai, the 4/2 way, oil with large clots affecting coastal 4km from the border with Quang Nam province until the end of Binh Son and began to spread through the Son Tinh district. Pass inspection showed that the oil remains in the waters off the coast of Binh Son and risk threatening the marine environment and affect the aquaculture of fishermen.

Against this backdrop, the same day, President Nguyen Xuan Hue province has led interdisciplinary inspection team toured to determine the degree of influence and find solutions. Next, the provincial emergency meeting, directing the Binh Son district (locality most affected) to mobilize the army, youth, militias and local people focused collection has stopped oil lumps.

Also, PPC steering JSC Quang Ngai sugar research utilizing this fuel to furnace production line (instead of using bagasse and wood charcoal). The company currently has equipped with the electrostatic furnace smoke treatment, not institutional C02 emissions ensure environmental standards.Here are solutions to both take advantage of the energy resources for production, both to limit the impact of environmental pollutants from oil spills.

But local does not have the conditions to do well in this manner. According to the Da Nang Department of Environment and Natural Resources, to this point on the coast of the oil spill has not significantly TP, over 2 days to collect over 100 kg. However, the oil spill into the sea stretching from Danang Marble Beach near Son Tra, with many pieces of grain just oil, it is difficult to collect.Show Da Nang City People's Committee has directed the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to coordinate with the work of implementing agencies dealing with this oil spill.

Mr. Nguyen Dieu, Director of Natural Resources and Environment Danang said Urban Environment Company Danang and coordinate forces ready for collection when the oil to shore. However, to the oil spill reaching the shore will seriously affect one of the most charming beach planet. So Danang Department of Natural Resources and Environment is considering measures to handle the remaining oil from the sea. If closing a thick layer of oil booms will be used to collect sea, if thin oil streaks will give small boat, swim basket boat using coconut fiber, low net ... to collect before the oil to shore.

Increasingly heavy damage

The most severe is still in Quang Nam. According to Nguyen Hien, Head of Resources - Environment Hoi An, these days, the town has mobilized more than 1,000 days and spending over 100 million to Coastal Oil Skimmer. By this time, the town had collected nearly 100 tons of oil spilled into the shore.However, the collection of craft began to appear difficult.

With large patches of oil, people can fish sack, there were waves of degraded oil to equal just marbles, grain, no way to collect it all. Most of this oil was mixed into the soil, see the sun will melt the greater the level of pollution.

In particular, information on oil spills have severely affected the tourism industry Hoi An, especially those along the coastal hotels. As leaders of Golden Sand Hotel, the occurrence of oil spills, many international travelers and domestic canceled room, the initial damage estimate of about $ 64,000.Not only this hotel, but many luxury hotels along the coast as Victoria; Hoi An ... also severely affected by this condition.

Ms Vo Thi Thu, Director of the tourist center of Hoi An Town admit, the spill had significant impact on the number of visitors to Hoi An, especially this time is the peak of the tourist season.

Meanwhile, in Da Nang, but not much impact as many visitors Quang Nam but also afraid to start visiting the Son Tra Peninsula and the coast. Leadership Sandy Beach confirmation, beach front resort has appeared many local oil on your fingers, toes, especially the oil particles like grains of rice dotted lot.

Only the first days of oil discovery beach, this resort has collected more than 20kg, but had given up before the small oil scum and in sand. Even at Furama, also began pouring oil on shore and how the consequences would resort 5 star is still not fully foreseen ...

Up to this point, may assert many central coastal localities are facing the huge threat, not only the environment but also harm the many aspects of economic life, society and people's livelihood . However the principal threat to prevent this from outside of the local capabilities. It was a matter of national stature.

Meanwhile, the involvement and support of the relevant departments of TU is still very limited and slow. Should disaster still is getting closer to ... disaster for provinces in Central!
