Padma Oil’s Barisal depot manager MD Lokman said the vessel was bound for Chandpur after loading 898,000 liters of diesel and 234,000 liters of octane at the Chattogram port.
“Some diesel spilled from the sunken tanker. The leak was stopped with the help of the Coast Guard.”
KM Shafiul Kinjol, a spokesman for the force, said two Coast Guard teams were working to ensure the safety of Shagor Nandini-2.
He said a boat with technology was used to remove the oil so that the biodiversity of the river was not affected.
Shafiul said the locals tried to remove the cargo, but they left after the Coast Guard team reached the spot.
