Harbour Oil Spill

The oil spill in the harbour and tank farm woes has been getting quite a lot of coverage in the press and online lately.

A number of these articles have been collated on the MyPE web site.

From MyPE:

The Oil Tank Farm within the harbour has always been lurking under the radar but I cannot stand idly by anymore and watch the degradation of the harbour area and decimation of assets worth millions of rands. Over the past few years the state of the harbour and lack of environmental concern has slowly pushed many of the businesses and clubs into a downward spiral. Face facts; "Would you spend good money on a recreational craft, only to be forced to have it cleaned a minimum of three times per week and watch whilst a surface water borne grinding paste of oil and manganese ore destroys your craft?"
