It said it had mapped the spill using planes and collected samples, adding that it would not be able to comment on which measures to deploy until after the samples had been analysed.

A preliminary investigation into environmental crimes has also been launched.

Later on Thursday, it said the spill was no longer visible and that spills other than oil were increasing.
