Suggestion

Did you know

Result: 1948 days 110.151.28.154 (talk) 10:29, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

That's not referenced anywhere, and doesn't have a good connection to the ship given its RNZN hull number was A09. Nick-D (talk) 00:40, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

OK, an interesting coincidence, but not significant to anything. (Given enough data, coincidences can always be found.) BMJ-pdx (talk) 16:08, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Dispute over the amount of oil leaked

The New Zealand government doesnt believe the ship has leaked 200,000 litres of oil. This story on the Australian ABC has a photo that purports to be of the sunken ship, which certainly does not show a massive oil spill. The NZ government also disputes the amount of diesel leaked.
