Dec. 7 (Bloomberg) -- South Korea battled to contain the world's biggest oil spill in 4 1/2 years after a supertanker
collided with a barge near Hyundai Oilbank Co.'s refinery on the nation's west coast.
The collision caused three holes on the ship's side and 10,500 metric tons (78,750 barrels) of crude oil was spilled, the
Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries said in a statement today. The Hebei Spirit has stopped leaking and the
slick is 7.4 kilometers (4.6 miles) long and 2 kilometers wide, it said.
Hebei Spirit is fitted with one hull, according to Lloyd's Register-Fairplay, which assigns ship-registration numbers. An
international ban on such ships is due to start in 2010. Modern tankers are fitted with two hulls to cut the risk of an oil
spill and are usually more expensive to hire.
