The authorities announced in a separate joint statement on Monday night that the next round of clean-up operations has already begun, which will include the addition of several boom implementation and fuel recovery systems.

About 1, 500m of boom have already been deployed, with plans to send out another 1, 600m over the next few weeks.

According to the Maritime and Port Authority ( MPA ), National Environment Agency ( NEA ), National Parks Board ( NPB), Sentosa Development Corporation ( SDC ), Singapore Food Agency ( SFA ), and PUB, these will be placed at designated locations to support the containment of accumulated oil.

Additionally, the government noted that some of the fuel was seen off Changi on Monday.

Off Changi East, more surges will get installed as a preventative measure.

A “pre-emptive assess,” a vessel-deployed specialized oil floating isolation and treatment system, will also be deployed on Tuesday off the Changi Exhibition Centre as a “pre-emptive determine.” &nbsp,

A scarf that extends into the water and is used to obtain the fuel on the surface serves as the centerpiece of The Latest Buster. It can store up to five tons of fuel in one craft-load before being discharged.
