The IOPC Funds confirmed on Thursday it is budgeting £51m ($67m) to compensate victims of an oil spill that polluted four kilometres (2.5 miles) of Saronic Gulf coastline in September.
As TradeWinds reported last month, an initial amount of £26m will be called, with an additional £25m to follow at some later point in 2018, the Greek IOPC office said in a statement.
Potential claimants can put forward claims since 2 Nov.
The 3,200-dwt Agia Zoni II (built 1972), engaged in bunkering operations, sank in 35 metres of water on 10 September, with a Lloyd’s Open Form salvage operation under way.
