Of the 41,773 tonnes of cargo on board, "1,684 tonnes are of products classified as dangerous by the International Maritime Organization". 103 containers fell into the sea. Oil spilled to the north-east, which affected some sea birds. More than 420 were taken to the nearby West Hatch RSPCA Wildlife Centre, though most of the affected animals faced permanent injury or death. The specialised oil spill response vessel () BSAD "Argonaute" proceeded to the spill area with anti-pollution personnel and equipment.
