Countermeasures/ Mitigation

None of the fuel released from the vessel was recovered.  Heavy surf and the lack of a
large enough vessel prevented lightering or salvage of the vessel before all the fuel was
released.  Salvage of the forward section and superstructure from the surf zone and
recovery of oiled debris and fishing gear from the coral reef slope was successfully
completed by a commercial salvage operator based in Singapore.
