BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Oil spill spawns four slicks in East China Sea

January 19, 2018 Reprints

China's State Oceanic Administration said that the spill from a sunken Iranian tanker off China's east coast has spawned four oil slicks with a total area of almost 101 square kilometers, BusinessDay reported citing Agence France-Presse. The oil tanker Sanchi, which was carrying 136,000 tons of light crude oil from Iran, sank in the East China Sea on Jan. 14, a week after colliding with a Hong Kong-registered bulk freighter. The Sanchi also carried a fuel tank that could accommodate some 1,000 tons of heavy diesel.
