Oil Spill From Dredger Boat Blackens Singapore Shoreline

Oil spill from cargo tanker strike blackens Singapore's Sentosa coastline, prompting clean-up and concerns for marine wildlife.

An oil spill from a dredger colliding with a stationary tanker has tainted Singapore's southern coastline, including Sentosa island. The spill is being contained and treated, but affected shorelines have been closed for cleanup. Clean-up crews are working to prevent further spread. Conservationists are monitoring the impact on wildlife, with reports of oiled fish, otters, and kingfishers. The Sentosa beach remains open but with sea activities and swimming prohibited. Cleanup efforts involve multiple crafts and container booms to trap and recover the spilled oil.
