In relation to a tank ship, 500,000 Gallons isn't that bad of a spill. That's only 12,000 barrels. That ship looks like it is maybe 45,000 GT. If it were a tanker that broke in 2 it would have been able to hold say 300,000 barrels or 12.5 millions gallons. That ship probably holds no more than 20,000 Barrels of bunkers. So it could have been worse by many times over.
