All leaks on the Oleg Naydenov have now been seal and the ship has been completely emptied of oil, according to Spain's sea search and rescue organization Salvamento Marítimo

Debunkering work carried out by the Ardent company, including building coffins over all leaks to prevent further oil seepage, and the removal of over 500 cubic metres of oil waste.

The technical committee in charge of overseeing the wreck has now removed the emergency status of the Oleg Naydenov wreck.

However, Salvamento Marítimo is leaving nothing to chance and will continue to monitor the wreck site using satellite data as well as flyovers, checks by ship and by undersea ROV.

Gran Canaria can now look back and count itself lucky that fuel oil from the sunken trawler didn't foul its main beaches and kill a lot more wildlife.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
