Oil vessel off the Newfoundland coast spills 250,000 litres of crude

Spill being monitored, can't be contained or cleaned up until waves subside

An oil spill off the coast of Newfoundland caused an estimated 250,000 litres of crude to leak into the ocean, Husky Energy said Friday.

The leak, from a flowline to the SeaRose FPSO, a vessel stationed about 350 kilometres off the Newfoundland coast, happened around mid-day on Friday in the White Rose field while crews were preparing to restart production.

Operations had been halted Thursday due to high winds and rough seas.

Oil extraction remains suspended as the cause of the spill is investigated, but ocean swells of up to seven metres are preventing any underwater examination, Husky spokesperson Colleen McConnell said.

The spill cannot be contained or cleaned up until waves subside.

The provincial chapter of the Offshore Petroleum Board reported no injuries and said all wells are in a safe state.
