Oil spill on harbour quay.
An oil spill on the King Edward Pier in Douglas this morning was dealt with by fire crews. The fuel was from a tanker trailer on the pier.
The incident was next to the Solway Harvester which had been moved across Douglas Harbour; it was ready for inspection by officers from the Sheriff's Court in Edinburgh ( see picture) where proceedings are underway to attempt to compel the owner of the Harvester, Richard Gidney, to give evidence to the inquests into the death of the seven crew members.
That inspection took place at around midday after a delay.
