Popular beaches on Singapore’s resort island of Sentosa were fouled with fuel oil over the weekend following an oil spill caused by a Dutch dredger hitting a stationary bunker tanker at the Pasir Panjang container terminal on Friday.
The Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) named the vessels involved in the incident as Van Oord’s 29,900-gt trailing suction hopper dredger Vox Maxima (built 2009) and Straits Bunkering’s 9,000-dwt bunker tanker Marine Honour (built 2007).
