It would take several years to clean up the oil spill. Two freighters carrying sulphur also sank nearby .Storms of Ukraine's coast also sank a ship which was carrying 5,600 tonnes of scrap metal.They were 17 people on board...two crew members were found on the shore, the other 15 sailors are still missing.
