The Sentosa Development Council told CNA it started to cordon off affected parts of Palawan Beach on Friday evening and the clean-up started the next morning.
At approximately 9.20pm, SDC said it started to cordon off affected parts of Palawan Beach, while the clean-up started the following morning. Sentosa's beaches remain open to the public, but sea activities and swimming are still not allowed at Tanjong, Palawan and Siloso beaches. In a joint statement, the Maritime and Port Authority , the National Environment Agency , the National Parks Board and Sentosa Development Corporation said the dredger had reported a sudden loss in engine and steering control before it hit the bunker vessel on Friday.
"Due to the tidal currents, parts of the oil spillage have landed along the southern shorelines including Sentosa, Labrador Nature Reserve, Southern Islands, Marina South Pier, and East Coast Park." Close to 1,500m of containment booms have been deployed since Friday at various locations, including the three beaches at Sentosa, the entrance of Keppel Marina, off Labrador Nature Reserve, East Coast Park and West Coast Park.
