Singapore closed off several popular coastal parks as an oil spill continued to spread along its shores, with authorities vowing to intensify cleanup efforts on Sunday (June 16). The oil spilled into Singaporean waters after a Netherlands-flagged dredger struck a stationary Singapore-flagged bunker vessel on Friday (June 14) afternoon in the southern port of Pasir Panjang. Authorities had said the vessel was no longer leaking oil, but added in a statement late on Saturday (June 15) that /”due to the tidal current, the treated oil has landed along shorelines including Sentosa, Labrador Nature Reserve, Southern Islands, Marina South Pier, and East Coast Park/”.
