The spill from a sunken Iranian tanker off China's east coast has spawned four oil slicks as authorities prepared to send robots to the wreckage to assess the environmental damage.
The Sanchi, which was carrying 136,000 tons of light crude oil from Iran, sank in a ball of flames in the East China Sea on Sunday, a week after colliding with Hong Kong-registered bulk freighter the CF Crystal.
The bodies of only three of 30 Iranian and two Bangladeshi crew members have been found.
Chinese State Oceanic Administration said late Wednesday that it was monitoring four slicks with a total area of almost 101 square kilometers Kanken Mini Backpack Pink Sale , roughly the same size as Paris.
The office is attempting to "control the spread of the oil spill and is carrying out work to estimate its impact on the marine ecological environment," it said on its website.
The type of condensate oil carried by the Sanchi does not form a traditional surface slick when spilt, but is nonetheless highly toxic to marine life and much harder to separate from water.
Japan's coast guard said Thursday a patrol ship and plane examined the oil spill and found that it was spreading 30 kilometers east and eight kilometers northwest from the wreck, with a maximum width of 800 metres.
"The swathe of oil slick is being diffused and disappearing," the coast guard said in a statement. "Chinese and other patrol ships continue to look for missing [crew] members and carrying out oil removal missions."
On Tuesday Kanken Mini Backpack Blue Sale , China had reported two slicks measuring about 69 square kilometers and an additional 40-square-kilometre area of "scattered" oil.
The transport ministry said late Wednesday the vessel lay at a depth of around 115 metres and that robots would be deployed to explore the shipwreck.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- The Mexican economy will face a high degree of uncertainty in 2018 due to presidential elections and the renegotiation of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Mexican Institute of Finance Executives (IMEF) stated on Tuesday.
In its first report of 2018, IMEF's president Fernando Lopez said the exchange rate would be the main variable absorbing the shocks of this uncertainty.
"While the average expectation for the exchange rate at the end of the year stands at 19.10 pesos per dollar, this does not mean we will not see a rise in volatility Kanken Mini Backpack Black Sale ," said Lopez.
The Mexican currency, one of the most traded among emerging markets, has seen pressure for months due to NAFTA, fiscal reforms in the U.S. and the upcoming elections.
On Tuesday, the peso closed at 18.77 to the dollar Kanken Mini Backpack Sale , but the IMEF expects it will stand at 19.10 at the end of year, higher than its 18.75 prediction last December.
"It is likely the peso will depreciate in the first half of the year and will appreciate in the second semester after the risk event, that the presidential elections represent, has passed," Lopez told a press conference.
In terms of economic matters Kanken Classic Backpack Orange Sale , the IMEF predicts a 2.3 percent economic growth for Mexico in 2018.
For inflation, IMEF projects an increase of 4.1 percent at the end of 2018. Mexican inflation ended 2017 at its highest level since 2001, largely fuelled by the depreciation of the exchange rate and increased fuel costs.
"We do not anticipate relevant inflationary pressures, except those that may emerge in a few more months, if the exchange rate continues to see important depreciation as the day of the election approaches Kanken Classic Backpack Purple Sale ," said Lopez.
Mexico will elect a new president in July.
