Oil spill from ship reaches East Coast Park, sea activities on Sentosa beaches halted

Sentosa Cove people have even offered to assist with the clean-up tasks, according to SDC. &nbsp,

Staff were seen cleaning up the flow when CNA went to Tanjong Beach at noon. A long, bright oil increase, covered in fuel, had been placed along the beach.

A&nbsp, user walking her puppy earlier in the morning told CNA that the scent was “unbelievable”, a sentiment echoed by another beachgoer in the evening.

” The first thing that I noticed was the smell, it smells like a propane kiosk”, said Mr Nigel Kong, 25.

” On a regular weekend, ( one side of the beach ) may be filled with tennis courts and ball judges. Often, when we’re warm, we go down to the waterways. But with this oil spill, we ca n’t really do it”.

Coastlines AT EAST COAST, LABRADOR PARK AFFECTED

At East Coast Park, dark waste was apparent along the beach. Oil scent was present in the air.

” It did n’t really hit until we came to the beach area. The aroma is a bit disconcerting”, said Mr Sufian Ali, who was not conscious of the oil spill before arriving at the area.
