Apr 18 - ESG Concerned Over Royal Navy Ship Pollution
The Environmental Safety Group (ESG) has said that the RFA Mounts Bay, the Royal Navy vessel that is currently in Gibraltar for repairs, is leaving its engine on continuously thereby resulting in air-pollution in the area. The ESG says that, in addition, given the very high noise level of this engine, which is particularly noticeable at night, the situation is “extremely unpleasant and unsatisfactory for many residents in the vicinity.”
