MPA Singapore informs that the ongoing oil spill clean-up of difficult-to-reach areas on land and coastlines has progressed into its second phase, focusing on challenging sites like rock bunds, breakwaters, and deeply embedded oil in the sand.

According to MPA Singapore, the removal of bulk oil from the sea and beaches is nearly completed. There has been no observed oil slick along the East Coast and Changi since 18th June based on both satellite and drone images.

Minister for Transport of Singapore, Chee Hong Tat, shared in a post on June 20, details about the oil spill in Singapore that took place following an allision between a dredger and a bunker vessel on June 14.

Following a recent maritime incident at the Singapore Terminal on 14 June 2024, involving the dredger VOX MARINER and bunker vessel MARINE HONOUR, significant efforts are underway to mitigate the environmental impact caused by the rupture of an oil cargo tank onboard the MARINE HONOUR.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) confirms that major container lines, including CMA CGM and ONE, have moved more container volumes through Singapore in the first five months of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. 

X-Press Feeders, Global Energy Trading Pte Ltd (GET), and PSA Singapore (PSA) have successfully completed the first simultaneous methanol bunkering and cargo operation (SIMOPS) in Singapore on 27 May 2024.

Fortescue, with support from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), government agencies, research institutes, and industry partners, has successfully completed propulsion and manoeuvrability trials of its Singapore-registered Fortescue Green Pioneer in the Port of Singapore.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deepen the partnership between the two organisations and accelerate maritime decarbonisation and digitalisation.

According to MPA Singapore, more than 500 participants from the industry, academia and international organisations gathered at the Accelerating Digitalisation and Decarbonisation Conference to discuss how value-chain stakeholders can work together to produce, transport, and bunker net-zero fuels safely.
