Cape Town, September 4 -- Oil spilling from a Turkish bulk carrier stranded off the coast in 2009, SELI 1, has seeped into at least 1.5 kilometres of sea water surrounding the coastal city. Strong winds and rough seas in and around the Cape peninsula broke the vessel into pieces over the past few weeks. The South African National Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Seabirds (SANCCOB) says the situation could have been avoided had authorities removed the wreck when it ran aground.
