コンデンセート＠サンチ号で中国漁業大ピンチ！

Sanchi: Burning tanker off Chinese coast 'in danger of exploding'2 hours ago
Why is the Sanchi's oil so dangerous?
The tanker, run by Iran's leading oil shipping operator, has on board 136,000 tonnes of condensate, which is an ultra-light version of crude oil.
That is about one million barrels and at current prices is worth roughly $60m (£44m).
The Sanchi will also be carrying a certain amount of heavy - and toxic - shipping fuel.
Condensate is very different from the black crude that is often seen in oil spills.
It exists in gas form within high-pressure oil reservoirs and liquefies once extracted.
It is highly toxic, low in density and considerably more explosive than regular crude oil.
Condensate, which does not need the heavy refining process of denser crude, creates products such as jet fuel, petrol, diesel and heating fuel.
So is it bad for the environment?

Condensate is certainly toxic. It is both colour- and odour-less, and a lot harder to detect, contain and clean up than heavy crudes.Simon Boxall, of the National Oceanography Centre at the University of Southampton, told the BBC there was another difference: "It's not like crude, which does break down under natural microbial action; this stuff actually kills the microbes that break the oil down."
It cannot be picked off the surface like heavy crude.
Dr Boxall said the best hope was to put out the fire and stop the ship from sinking.
"If she sinks with a lot of cargo intact, then you have a time bomb on the sea bed which will slowly release the condensate."
He added: "There could be a long-term exclusion of fishing for many hundreds of kilometres in this area."
