    The cargo company should be prosecuted for littering. Unless they can convince some benevolent locals to go help them clean up the spill.

      Members of the British government have been calling for strong efforts to ensure the shipping company and its insurers will pay the costs of the cleanup. Seatrade, which operates the vessel, said its insurers are fully engaged in the process, and in the meantime, volunteers are scouring the beaches, aiding in the cleanup (and possibly taking a few bananas home as a reward).

        Oh goodie, the insurers are fully engaged! I’m sure they will help clear the quickly rotting food off the beach just as much as the volunteers who are physically there doing actual work.
