A major incident was declared on Sunday when the leak occurred at a pipeline operated by gas company Perenco, under Owers Bay.

Members of the public have been urged not to swim in the harbour or nearby until further notice.

Perenco said the leak of fluid - made up of 85% water and 15% oil - was "under control".
