"The fundamental way to eliminate the pollution source is to salvage the wreckage. To discover the bodies of the victims also requires pinpointing the location of the sunken ship. There will be more work to do and it concerns a series of legal issues such as the observation of the international conventions and problems concerning the shipowner, as well as the water quality monitoring. We have to take in all these factors before doing the follow-up work."

China is continuing its cleanup operations in the East China Sea, where four oil slicks covering an area of 260 square kilometers have been found in waters around the sunken SANCHI oil tanker, according to Chinese maritime authorities on Friday.
Zhi Guanglu, deputy director of the China Maritime Search and Rescue Center, told a press conference in Beijing that the oil spill is continuing and the cleanup operation was difficult.
