Salvage teams believe two fuel storage tanks on Transocean Winner platform have been breached after rig crashed into rocks in storm
Salvage experts fear that tonnes of diesel has leaked into the Atlantic after a drilling rig ran aground, breaching its fuel tanks, in the Western Isles of Scotland earlier this week.
The specialists believe two of the four fuel storage tanks on the Transocean Winner platform were damaged as well as water stability tanks, when the 17,000-tonne rig crashed into rocks near Carloway on the Isle of Lewis in a heavy storm.
