About 25,000 kilos of fats found in late January have been collected, says the Länsi-Uusimaa Rescue Service in a news release.

The fat came from Neste’s sea transport.

The white substance is lying on the beach in Hanko in foggy weather.

All deposits found so far on both the continent side and on the islands have been reviewed and cleaned.

The first observations of environmental damage were made on January 26.
