The 80-tonne oil spill from the bulk carrier MV Solomon Trader that ran aground on a coral reef in the Solomon Islands in rough seas could take 4 months to clean. The slick has moved out from Rennell Island, the world's largest raised coral atoll and world heritage site, while a barge pump has removed about half of the 600 tonnes of oil still onboard the wreck.
