The bunkering operation is reported to have been immediately halted once the spill was detected, and an oil boom deployed to contain the spill.
Local authorities are said to have inspected both vessels and surrounding waters following the spill.
Bunkering operations were resumed once authorities determined that the spill had been contained.
No environmental damage has been reported as a result of the spill.
According to their respective websites, m/v Aalborg is owned by Alba Tankers and operated by Sweden-based Topoil, part of the Bunker Holding group.
