These comments from Greenpeace are as expected. A fair bit of bunker oil would have leaked from the tanker as it descended into the abyss. Also when the wreck hit bottom, many of the tanks would have ruptured releasing oil. However any bunker oil left in the wreck would quickly cool down to the surrounding temperature and turn into a solid mass. The people running the tug boats used their heads when they hauled that wreck out over the oceanic abyss. These "ships of shame" (rusty old single hulled oil tankers) need to be banned from the ocean.
