The East Coast Park beach section near the National Sailing Centre reopened on July 29, more than a month after it was closed for cleanup following an oil spill on June 14.
“While it is safe to use the beach, the public is advised not to swim or undertake primary contact water sports such as wakeboarding and stand-up paddling in the beach waters,” it said, adding that it will continue to monitor the water quality.In a separate Facebook post on July 29, the National Parks Board said the rest of the beachfront at East Coast Park remains closed until further notice.On July 22, NEA announced that beachgoers can visit Areas B and E of East Coast Park.
On June 14, at around 2.20pm, Netherlands-flagged dredging boat Vox Maxima hit Singapore-flagged bunker vessel Marine Honour, which was stationary, resulting in 400 tonnes of oil spilling. Owing to the tidal current, the oil landed along shorelines, including those of Sentosa, Labrador Nature Reserve, the Southern Islands, Marina South Pier and East Coast Park.
