Singapore’s worst oil spill in more than a decade is likely to trigger payouts from the intergovernmental body that compensates victims of pollution damage from high-cost tanker casualties.
The 29,900-gt Dutch-flagged dredger Vox Maxima (built 2009) struck the 8,700-dwt bunker tanker Marine Honour (built 2007) at the Pasir Panjang shipping terminal on 14 June, causing marine fuel to spill into port waters.
