In the case of the BP oil spill, 700,000 to 1.1 million tonnes had poured into the Gulf of Mexico .
MSC Chitra had a cargo of 1219 containers when it collided and the cargo contained 2662 tonnes of fuel, 283 tonnes of diesel and 88040 litres of lubricant oil. MV Khalijia was loaded with 30,000 tons of steel coils during collision. The container vessel MSC Chitra tilted sharply at angle of 45 Degree following the collision. 31 containers carried sodium hydroxide and organophosphorus pesticides, among other hazardous material.
