The amount of discharged oil was at least 3.9 m³ AIS data and oil drift model results were analysed by SASEMAR and the evidence confirmed that the potential source indicated in the CSN report was actually the polluter Spain sent a Port State Control request and a flag state report © CSA/MDA/EMSA 2009
