May 28, 2010

According to a May 26 report from Bloomberg, oil spilled from a tanker collision offshore Singapore fouled parts of a two-mile stretch of the city-state's coast. Officials have deployed oil dispersants, 15 boats, 120 personnel and 10,800 ft of containment booms. About 18,000 barrels of light crude oil spilled from the Malaysian-registered tanker MT Bunga Kelana 3 after it collided with the St. Vincent's and The Grenadines-registered bulk carrier MV Waily in the Singapore Strait.
