Soldiers clean up fuel oil on the Noja beach in the province of Santander in northern Spain February 4, 2003. "Crown Resources", the metals and energy trader, is suing the owners of the Bahamanian-flagged Prestige tanker which sank off the coast of Spain in November. The Swiss-based company had chartered the Prestige to carry 77,000 tonnes of fuel oil which is now spilling on to French and Spanish beaches. NTRES REUTERS/Victor Fraile REUTERS DB/FMS
