“We don’t know much about how big the oil spill is. This morning we had our airplane surveying the area to gather information,” said Paal Are Lilleheim, spokesman at the Norwegian Coastal Administration.
The Norwegian coast guard said oil from the Godafoss came ashore at Aker Island, a seabird reserve at the mouth of the Oslo Fjord in the North Sea, less than 20 km from the Swedish border.
