Leaked oil from the Panamanian vessel, Lady Rosemary, continues to spread in Hakata Bay. As of Dec. 2, the fifth day since the ship collided with the breakwater, an area of 3 km x 4 km has been affected, causing concern to local fisheries. The ship remains stranded due to a large amount of oil remaining inside the vessel, causing delayed action by the Fukuoka Coast Guard Office. Source: Mainichi / RKB / NHK
