The eruption of a Tonga volcano sent “violent” waves across the Pacific and caused a boat loading oil about 6,200 miles away to topple, spilling thousands of barrels into Peruvian waters.

Dozens of fishermen have protested outside Peru’s main oil refinery, La Pampilla, which processes around 117,000 barrels a day and is managed by Spanish company Repsol.
