- Cleanup efforts following the oil spill caused by an allision on June 14 between a Netherlands-flagged dredging boat Vox Maxima and the stationary Singapore-flagged bunker vessel Marine Honour continued on June 16. READ MORE: str.sg/bxym
A biodiversity survey coordinated by the National Parks Board (NParks) involving about 20 experienced volunteers - including marine scientists, conservationists and business representatives - found no dead fish or oil-drenched creatures on the oil-slicked areas of St John’s and Lazarus islands.
Part of Singapore’s southern island chain, the two islands were among the locations worst-hit by the oil spill.

The shipping company must pay for the cost of cleaning up and environment damaged.
I like the ASMR type of toned down reporting😅 no press conference? Can be good for GE exposure leh🤣
Thank you to all the migrant workers helping to clean up
It's a bluuuuudy mess!
Totally preventable.
Who really was the pilot that navigated that marine craft? An experienced hand would not have misjudged causing the collision and creating disastrous consequences.
If it was an experienced hand, what was his state of being? Drunk? Drugs? Poor eyesight? What?
Bruh, either that there’s no wildlife in that area because its a dead place or the gahmen mouthpiece is lying
When CECA is piloting the ship
U mean FICA as for Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act?
Just had a random thought, has anyone in the world invented a ship that can help clean up oil spills yet? Like sucking floating oil on water's surface and filtering the oil in the ship
..." Oil Skimmer ",... could be more practical before reaching out to the beaches.
Otherwise,... ' Manual Skimming ' need more manpower & longer time..😢.
Get free labour from military save money
Previously, there was a serious oil spill in the Indian Ocean on the tourist island of Mauritius, a highly-protected atoll region with beautiful turquoise waters and precious coral reefs all around, just like the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia.
When the crude oil spilled into the waters, pollution was so bad there were large swathes of black oil slick patches everywhere, destroying the ecosystem, and turning the waters dark grey and murky. About 1,000 tonnes of fuel oil from the Japanese-owned MV Wakashio leaked into the ocean in July 2020, causing Mauritius' worst ecological disaster.
The captain and first officer of that ship that ran aground on a coral reef in Mauritius had each been sentenced to 20 months in prison.The magistrate said she hoped that the sentence would "serve as a lesson" for the men, and other potential offenders as an act of deterrence in the future.
The crux of the criminal probe on whether the allusion was due to just the moving Netherlands dredger losing all controls only, crashing into the stationary Singapore bunkering vessel, causing the 400 tons of crude oil leak into the ocean or more likely there's 'more than meets the eye' as in the captain and first officer of both ships are at fault, with the stationary SG bunkering vessel berthed at the wrong terminal or not clearing the way off for the Netherlands dredger to traverse its course fully taking safe distances between shipping lanes into account. Also, questionable practices by the Singapore Police Coast Guard for not intervening beforehand to maintain the safe chartering distances between shipping vessels whether stationary or not should be brought up in the criminal court proceedings.
Bunker fuel is lubricant oils for ships engines. This oil should be banned from the seas because it is like brake fluid. Heavy and dirty engines oils 😢
Location?
City?
Biome?
Place?
The bunker tanker was berthed at the PP container terminal . Is that the norm?

Why did the dredging boat's engine failed? Where did she take her bunkers?
Binggooo . . . . .🎯.
The playground for the Rich
Let nature takes its course. Don't do anything pls
There is no wildlife in Singapore. One of my kids saw a bird for the first time at age 8 and was so excited and shocked to see such a thing. He screamed with joy.
Then you are the problem. Why you kept him at home instead of bringing out?
Ship responsible must be prosecuted!!!!
