ADOLF JENSEN
Emergency personnel in Greenland near the community of Nanortalik worked over the weekend of Sep 21/22 to contain a 20,000 liters oil spill following the sinking of the 'Adolf Jensen'. The Greenland Police investigation unit didn’t know where the oil was coming from on the ship, or how much has leaked. Initial efforts to contain the spill using floating barriers and pumps were hampered by tides, currents and wind. The Ministry for Environment and Emergency Management has since escalated requests for aid to include the Danish Navy’s Arctic Command. Over the weekend extra personnel were called to the scene, as the cleanup efforts continued. Oil films were visible on the water surface in the Nanortalik fjords. The vessel’s crew and passengers were able to safely evacuate and reach the shore prior to the vessel’s sinking around five hours after the small expedition tour vessel ran aground en route to Qaqortoq while navigating past Nanortalk a about 0145 a.m. and began taking on water at a position near the Tasermiut Fjord, north of the town. The Nanortalik fire brigade used a nearby landing craft, the 'Atitooq''to transfer a dewatering pump and oil containment gear out to the ship. However, at 07.05 a.m. the 'Adolf Jensen' sank.
