A fresh oil leak has occurred off the coast of Peru -- already cleaning up after a major crude spill 10 days earlier -- during work on an underwater refinery pipeline, the government said Wednesday.

The leak occurred Tuesday during work at the La Pampilla refinery, owned by Spanish energy giant Repsol, the environment ministry said, though the company denied it.

But the Peruvian Navy said in a statement that on Tuesday, during a flyover to monitor the area affected by the first spill, an"oily spot" was observed near the pipeline. The Peruvian government is demanding damages from Repsol, but the Spanish company denies responsibility, saying maritime authorities had issued no warning of freak waves after the Tonga eruption.

The environment ministry said Sunday that more than 180 hectares -- equivalent to around 270 soccer fields -- of beach and 713 hectares of sea were affected, as sea currents spread the spilled oil along the coast.

Enca please correct JJ Tabane 1000 days are not translated to 6 years. I don't what the logic or methodology applied here. If there are 365 days in a year 1000 days is equivalent to two full years and over 6 months.
