‘Almost a complete loss’: Oil spill ruins sea sports businesses’ plans to cash in on long weekend

The beach at Aloha Sea Sports Centre, which is close to the well-known East Coast Lagoon Food Village, is still off limits, and its costs have been important.

” It’s awful … we suffered about 80 to 90 per cent loss of income revenue, especially for our hire water sport equipment and programs”, said common manager Loh Fock Jin.

” No one is going out to sea. Our F&amp, B&nbsp, – no one is patronising it as well, so it’s about a complete loss for us today”, he added.

YACHT BUSINESSES CAN GET AWAY FROM IT.

Boat berthed yachting operations in Sentosa Cove reported to CNA that they were also losing money. The ferry’s gate had been blocked off since Saturday night.

According to Ms. Jelissa Mei, advertising director of Zenith Yacht Charters, the restaurant has since reopened from 9am to 7pm after boom, which are temporary drifting obstacles used to contain spills, were installed there and the oil flow dissipated.

Boats are also prohibited from moving around in the evenings, she told CNA938 on Tuesday. Primarily because it is difficult to see where the oil spills are in the black.

As of Monday, Marina at Keppel Bay remains shut.

The oil flow caused delays for about 80 to 90 % of Zenith’s contract tickets, according to Ms Mei, though there are typically more than 40 boats out at the Lazarus Island and St. John Island places over a longer trip.

She further noted that oil you have acidic properties, which may compromise the integrity of a ship’s framework.

” We will check whether the hull of the yacht is still sea- worthy, ( whether ) it’s good enough to go”, she added.
