A leaking fishing vessel has spilled a large amount of diesel into the Napier Harbour.

The spokesperson says about 1500 litres of diesel has flowed into water near the Napier Sailing Club.
Fire crews have investigated and say there is no fire risk at this stage.
West Quay Road has since been reopened and police say the matter has been handed over to the Hawke's Bay Regional Council.
