If it does not stop the leak immediately, then the lost oil will be more and more.
Minimize oil leakage that has occurred.
After the leak is followed up, then we make sure there will be no more damaged compartments.
The compartment can only be fixed once the point of leakage is identified.
It needs to be followed up immediately, so that oil does not damage the marine population.
After the leak is repaired, this can only be done because millions of fish are feared to be contaminated with oil.
After the leak is repaired, this can only be done so that the fishing industry is not depressed.
