We tweeted last week about a collision between an oil tanker and a ship transporting bananas in the Caribbean Sea off the cost of Urabá. Oil spilled from the tanker.

Now it appears that most of the spill has been mopped up. From a MinAmbiente press release, translated and with commentary by Hydrocarbons Colombia.
