Godafoss leaks oil

A listing Eimskip boxship has spilled oil after grounding off Norway. Fuel leaked from two tanks in the middle section of the 1,457–teu Godafoss (built 1995) after it went aground at 13.5 knots 100 yards from shore at Fredrikstad, near a national park, on Thursday night. The two leaking tanks each have a capacity of 250 tons of fuel.
