A massive oil rig grounded off Lewis is leaking fuel.

:00:09.:00:13.

The Transocean Winner has more than 300,000 litres of diesel

:00:14.:00:15.

on board and two of its fuel tanks appear to have been breached.

:00:16.:00:19.

It broke free from a towing line attached to a tug on Monday,

:00:20.:00:22.

and efforts to refloat it are being hampered by bad weather.

:00:23.:00:24.

Dalmore beach on the West Coast of the race is usually inhabited with

:00:25.:00:37.

holiday-makers and surfers at this time of year. Instead, a 17,000

:00:38.:00:44.

tonne of an oil rig remains an incongruous sight. Whether brought

:00:45.:00:48.

fresh challenges and concern today, following an inspection it is feared

:00:49.:00:53.

that two of the feel tanks on board the structure may have been

:00:54.:00:56.

breached. It was confirmed this afternoon that some diesel from two

:00:57.:01:01.

of the tanks on board this structure did leak into the sea, but

:01:02.:01:05.

coastguards said was dispersed harmlessly, and there was no

:01:06.:01:10.

pollution risk. There have been no reports of any oil close to the

:01:11.:01:15.

installation or on the beach. It may well be that this oil was actually

:01:16.:01:19.

lost when the installation came in and grounded on Monday morning.

:01:20.:01:24.

Several days after the semisubmersible ran aground here en

:01:29.:01:34.

Eileen MacDonald was first to see it when she opened her back door on

:01:35.:01:39.

Monday morning. It is complete shock and horror, disbelief. It was like

:01:40.:01:41.

being on another planet. Unbelievable. How this huge

:01:42.:01:47.

structure could be on our doorstep. As salvage teams arrive with

:01:48.:01:52.

equipment which may be used to pump out some of the diesel oil on board,

:01:53.:01:56.

the road to the beach remains closed off to allow access for emergency

:01:57.:02:00.

vehicles, and to keep the public away from the potentially dangerous

:02:01.:02:06.

site. I think things are under control. The people involved are

:02:07.:02:11.

professionals, they know what they are doing, and I'm not sure when it

:02:12.:02:17.

will be refloated, but the sooner the better. As the weather worsens,

:02:18.:02:21.

there is no way of knowing at this stage when and if the Transocean

:02:22.:02:27.

Winner can be refloated. But there will be nothing normal about this
