An oil spill caused by pipeline blasts at a terminal of China’s Dalian port may be cleaned up this week, allowing the country’s largest crude-oil terminal to resume receiving supplies for two PetroChina Co. refineries.
“We may be able to clean up the sea within roughly 5 days by allocating all possible resources,” Xu Guochen, secretary of the Dalian municipal government, told a press conference televised on Phoenix TV. The spill in northeastern China has been contained with floating barriers, PetroChina spokesman Mao Zefeng said by telephone from Hong Kong today.
