Dubai-Green Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On November 27, 2024, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) swiftly responded to a notable oil spill incident at the Puma Energy fuel dock facility located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Approximately 3,800 liters of No. 3 fuel oil spilled during a transfer from the vessel 'Dubai Green' to the facility. The situation was detected by the crew, who reported seeing a spreading sheen on the water, prompting an immediate halt to the fuel transfer operation. USCG watchstanders in the San Juan sector were alerted around 7:30 p.m. local time. Upon arrival, Coast Guard responders took swift action to secure the leak's source and initiated containment measures within the dock area. Approximately 300 meters of boom were deployed to prevent the oil from spreading to nearby shorelines and surrounding waters. Following these initial containment efforts, the team focused on locating any oil that may have escaped containment. Cleanup operations are being coordinated by the Marine Spill Response Corporation (MSRC), accompanied by the vigilant oversight of multiple government entities, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife, and the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources. In light of the ongoing situation, the Coast Guard has issued warnings to local residents and fishermen, advising them to avoid the affected area until cleanup procedures are fully completed. An official investigation into the incident has also been launched.
