Oil Spill at Faslane

Posted: 13th November 2022

Official investigations have been launched into an oil spill at a major Ministry of

Defence (MoD) fuel depot on Loch Striven in the Firth of Clyde. Three UK
Government agencies are examining an incident on 31 October when at least 1,500
litres of fuel was discharged into the loch from a tanker moored at the MoD
jetty. Environmentalists have warned of possible impacts on seabirds and other
wildlife, while politicians have described the spill as “really worrying” and
“devastating”. The Royal Navy said that the spill had been contained and
cleaned up.
