Qld authorities on hunt for oil spill ship

AUTHORITIES are testing oil samples from three ships to find the vessel responsible for a spill at the Port of Brisbane.

Crews are still working to clean up the 1.4km slick from Sunday night.

So far five birds have been found covered in oil and wildlife officers are searching for any others.

Maritime Safety Queensland has taken samples of the spilt oil and is comparing them with samples taken from three ships that were in the area at the time.

Investigators are also looking at CCTV footage.

The oil is now being recovered by a skimmer vessel.

"When this is completed the focus will turn to cleaning oil from piles and fenders along the wharf," Transport Minister Scott Emerson said.
