>>>....with just a little oil for it's own<<<

I make 900 tons of heavy fuel oil out to be 248,000 gallons,

As you say, no Exxon Valdez but still one hell of a gookie mess. That's about 31 over-the-road tankers of oil!

258,300 gallons.

You guys read the article at all? It says the tank with the leak is 150 tons(tonnes). Far short of the whole 900 tons. Personally I couldn’t care less, more oil leaks into the ocean naturally from the sea bottom than has ever been spilled by ships. I guess we could go back to using coal for fuel or natural gas, a natural gas or coal spill would be just fine.

Yes but only one bunker with 150 tons capacity is actually leaking, and that apparently quite slowly.
