Thank you Mr. Speaker. Initially, the authorities figured that there was about, roughly, 12,000 litres, which is about 2,790 gallons, of fuel oil spilled into the river. The latest result, the last estimate is about 5,000 litres actually spilled into the river, which about a little over 1,000 gallons. There was one compartment that was damaged. As soon as the N.T.C.L. noticed the damage they stopped the barge and started pumping into another barge. As a result, the latest estimate is about a little over 1,000 gallons, about 5,000 litres spilled.
