SINGAPORE closed beaches along 7.2 kilometers of its eastern coast as an oil spill from a damaged tanker continued to spread yesterday.
Blotches of rust-colored oil floated next to a breaker wall at a ferry terminal, while the nearby National Sailing Center, which usually gives daily classes to hundreds of school students, shut its doors.
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-registered bulk carrier MV Waily on Tuesday in the Singapore Strait.
