Gosport'i elanikud said korralikult hoiatatud kohalike võimude poolt, kui Venemaa lipu all seilav kaubalaev Anatoliy Kolesnichen (IMO nr 8406688) pillas kolmapäeva õhtul merre 100 liitrit kütust.
Neljapäeva hommikuks oli reostus määrinud ligi miili pikkuselt randa. 20 kohalikku reostusetõrje "ohvitseri" oli saadetud randa vetikaid ja kive puhastama.
Samples of the oil have been taken and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency is running tests to see if any damage has been done to the environment.
Council workers checked Lee-on-the-Solent and Hill Head, Fareham, and there was no trace of oil in either area.
It is not believed any wildlife suffered, but some windsurfers and swimmers were covered in oil on Wednesday and Thursday.
