The northern Chinese port city of Dalian has closed beaches as workers continue to clean the offshore oil spill that has shut the country’s biggest crude terminal, China Daily said.
Several bathing beaches have been closed and the resort island of Bangchui island east of Dalian is barred to tourists, the state-run newspaper reported, without saying where it got the information. About 300 metric tons of oil has been recovered as of 2 p.m. yesterday, China National Petroleum Corp., the parent of Hong Kong-listed PetroChina Co., said in a statement on its website today.
