Oil spill incident: Seaside businesses facing 5-figure losses, lengthy compensation process

Kayakasia’s trips to Sentosa and the Southern Islands were forced to end. To make things worse, the three- quarter closing timeframe falls in the company’s top time, its chairman Sim Cher Huey said.

” These are the times with the best waters to swim that,” said Mr. Sim, “because these are important months for us.” This means that we will be taking significantly less of these visits this year.

He intends to expand the number of trips to places like Pulau Ubin, rather of asking for money. &nbsp,

He said,” We probably will just work more trips in different parts of Singapore to make up for the lost trips to Sentosa and Southern Island,” citing the arduous claims process as a deterrent to seeking compensation. &nbsp,

But, he also expects to make a loss, as about 50 per cent of his company’s trips are to the lakes around the Southern Islands. &nbsp,

” There will definitely be some losses and wo n’t be fully able to pivot because some dates are just not suitable to travel to Ubin but only to the Southern Islands,” he said. ” So in a way, these dates are lost” .&nbsp,

Due to the oil flow, visitor statistics to “tiny homes” operated by domestic strong Big Tiny for overnight stays have decreased on Lazarus Island. &nbsp,

According to Big Tiny co-founder Jeff Yeo, bookings have decreased by 29 % since Jun 14. These tickets were canceled for the fifth and final portion, respectively. &nbsp,

With the shores closed, customers might not want to book lodging because they are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and spent time with loved ones on the beach, according to Mr. Yeo. &nbsp,

The business is calculating its loss and intends to file a claim with British Marine. &nbsp,
