SELI 1 Leaks Oil onto Blouberg Beach

4 September 2011 by Alan

The Seli 1 leaked more oil on 3 September 2011 which washed up onto Blouberg Beach. The smell of oil was still very pungent by 14h00 but had largely dissipated by 17h00. The City of Cape Town had cordoned off access to the beach and had largely cleaned up the beach of significant oil deposits by 17h00.
