(Xinhua) — A Chinese-registered bulk coal carrier Shen Neng 1 ran aground on a reef Saturday night, about 70 kilometers east of Great Keppel Island off the Queensland coast, Australian Associated Press reported Sunday. Aircraft are flying over the 230-meter-long bulk carrier aground in the Great Barrier Reef to determine the extent of an oil spill from the vessel. The vessel, which was carrying about 65000 tons of coal from Gladstone, has 950 tons of oil on board. An unknown amount of oil has leaked in the water and a national oil spill response plan has been activated. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority has airlifted a surveyor onto the vessel to carry out a damage assessment. Maritime Safety Queensland says it has approached the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority seeking permission to use aerial dispersants on the oil leak, and a dispersant-spraying aircraft is on standby in Rockhampton. The incident immediately sparks fears of environmental damage of the Great Barrier Reef from the oil spill. news.xinhuanet.com Grounded ship: 3km oil spill on Great Barrier Reef - environmentalists have expressed outrage that the state and federal governments for allowing the carrier to travel along the Queensland coast without the guidance of an Australia marine pilot. Greens leader Bob Brown said the Shen Neng 1 did not have a marine pilot on board when the accident occurred….. www.brisbanetimes.com.au Captain Patrick Quirk, general manager of Maritime Safety Queensland …

Instead of losing the OIL WELL HEAD covering it up with concrete and sealing off the catastrophe There still tiring to salvage the well head due to MONEY AND GREED - Our government is about MONEY then CONTROL without money they have no control.
Sorry Obama is in charge America not maybe but is making Big Mistakes in the name of greed and control
NO AMOUNT OF MONEY OR CONTROL CAN REPAIR THE MASS WEAPON OF DESTRUCTION THAT HAS BEEN IMPOSED ON THE AMERICAN SEA
THANKS TO OBAMA

Australia likes to make easy money with this “green energy” called coal and then complains if a ship strike into the barrier reef

BTW, yr offensive language gets U blocked here, @funkymofo
ddchalmers on Tue, 5th Oct 2010 9:04 am
It didn’t stray off course but was using a regualr short-cut tay evry1 knew abt, @funkymofo. Only 2 tons of oil leaked + wat U saw on da vdo was crushed coral cloudin da water. Da real culprit is sa qld Labor gvmt for not havin ship monitorin in da region….. thus allowin shortcuts to be used at will. Betta stop profilin China + Chinese B4 Aus fronts da UN dis year for human rights abuses + discrimination issues against indigenous ppl + koaras, uhh.

@ddchalmers Yeah, it didn’t crash, it was just 30km off course, introducing itself graciously to the Great Barrier Reef. The leaking oil was just a gift from China. Moron.
By the way, the quote doesn’t mention the word ‘wreck’- but if it was made or maintained in China, it probably was one before it left Chinese waters. Tainted milk products, lead paint in toys, poisoned dumplings….
ddchalmers on Tue, 5th Oct 2010 9:13 am
LOL UR 1 funky retard, @funkymofo - it didn’t crash + it is not a wreck, uhh. Jus a lil stuck….. but now China is finin out wat a nastly lil redneck KRudd really is, hah

The coal carrier grounded on the Great Barrier Reef “clearly” broke the law and the book will be thrown at those responsible, federal Transport Minister Anthony Albanese says.
The Chinese-registered Shen Neng 1 crashed into Douglas Shoal, off Rockhampton, on April 3, after straying more than 15 nautical miles (almost 30km) off course.
STFU

For anyone who thinks that Americans are arrogant wait until you truly get to know the pride of the Chinese.
Those fuckers will never admit their mistakes and, guess what, they wish you wouldn’t point them out either.
Anyone following the fixed Yuan-Dollar issue should get an idea of what I’m saying.
In any case, the world knows no Chinese has responded yet because they feel a heightened sense of EMBARRASSMENT. Give them time to “swallow” this.
=D

CHINESE ARE ARROGANT ENVIROMENTAL VANDALS, and very poor in basic english and grammar skills, like DDChalmers is.

da chineses in da ship r da wurst culpritz for beeing pissweak navigatorz
ddchalmers on Tue, 5th Oct 2010 11:35 am
If U bothered readin da notes on the vdo response I made, ShenNeng’s master did actually lodge a plan wid the Aus maritime authorities but not the state authorities, @aussiechelc. Its all legal monkey-business tata goes on between da states + da commonwealth - to evry1’s disadvantage…..
