New Delhi, Aug 10 (IANS) The oil spill from the Panamanian ship that rammed into another vessel in Mumbai harbour has stopped, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh told the Lok Sabha Tuesday.

‘The oil spill from the ship has stopped and the situation is being monitored,’ Ramesh said.

Panamanian cargo carrier MSC Chitra and a St. Kitts ship MV Khalijia-III Saturday morning collided outside the Mumbai harbour, barely five kilometres from south Mumbai.

An estimated 2,000 litres of oil has spilled from the grounded ship during the three days since its collision.
