Oil Slicks Threaten Portugal

Fuel oil from the sunken tanker Prestige could hit Portugal as early as Wednesday.

A number of small slicks from the tanker are 26 km from Portugal's northern coast.

Although the Portuguese representative assured that they have all the resources and equipment necessary to deal with this situation.

The Prestige was an old single-hulled tanker which broke up and sank last month off Spain's northwest coast.
