Singapore nears completion of oil spill cleanupThe cleanup of bulk oil from the sea and beaches is nearly complete.

Over 3,400 meters of boom have also been laid to contain trapped oil and prevent it from re-entering the sea., which is focused on the more difficult clean-up of oil remnants trapped in areas such as coastal features, waterside infrastructures and rock bunds,” the agencies said in a statement. Long-term impacts on biodiversity are being monitored. Swimming and water activities will only resume once water quality is confirmed safe.

Moreover, no oil slicks have been observed at the Eastern Anchorages. Sporadic oil sheens are expected to dissipate naturally. The Police Coast Guard and Current Buster systems are on standby for any new sightings.
