Curiously, while on a fishing trip at Changi today, my white fishing line turned yellow and I could see specks of oil. I don’t see how the oil can spread so far, so fast, and in enough quantities to dirty my line so I doubt it’s related. Also, aAccording to the report, Sultan Shoal is now clean. Not sure if that means fishing at the Sultan Shoal can return to normal.<\/p>\n
\nOil Spill Following Collision Between “Sunny Horizon” and “DL Salvia” at Temasek Fairway – Update: 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
The cleaning up of the oil spill following the collision between Hong Kong-registered bulk carrier “Sunny Horizon” and Korean-registered Liquefied Petroleum Gas carrier “DL Salvia” continued today.<\/p>\n
As at 1700hrs, Singapore’s waters around the affected area are generally clean, with only patches of sheen sighted near the Jurong Island T-bund and Tuas View Extension. The sea-based clean up operation continues, with a deployment of 7 craft, a harbour buster and 2 containment booms.<\/p>\n
MPA continues working with JTC Corporation and the National Environment Agency on the land-based clean up efforts. The rock bund and lagoon cleaning up operation at Sultan Shoal Island has been completed.<\/p>\n
Vessel traffic in the Port of Singapore and port operations remain unaffected.<\/p>\n
Members of the public can contact MPA’s 24-hours Marine Safety Control Centre at 6325 2489 to report any sighting of oil slick in our waters or coastlines.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
