Equinor ASA (EQNR.OS) said Thursday that a suspected oil spill
in open water near its damaged oil terminal in the Bahamas has now
been confirmed as a patch of seaweed.
The company added that aerial surveillance has picked up another
suspect area offshore and results are being processed.
"Currently, there are no indications that the terminal is the
source for this," it said.
The Norwegian oil company's South Riding Point oil storage and
transshipment terminal on Grand Bahama island was damaged last week
when Hurricane Dorian passed through the island, causing oil spills
on land. However, the company said Thursday that no oil is leaking
from the terminal.
