Water quality has remained normal and stable in the past week.

NEA added that Changi beach has not been directly impacted by the oil spill that occurred following a maritime accident at Pasir Panjang Terminal.

SINGAPORE – Beachgoers are now permitted to return to Changi Beach for swimming and any other water activities, the National Environment Agency said in a Facebook post on July 6. “Water quality has remained normal and stable in the past week, and the bulk of oil in the sea has been removed,” it added. “As such, NEA will be withdrawing this advisory.”Some of the oil was also seen off Changi, according to a joint statement by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, NEA, National Parks Board, national water agency PUB, Sentosa Development Corporation and Singapore Food Agency on June 17.

The impact created a rupture in one of the oil tanks of Marine Honour, causing oil to leak into the sea.Read nowSubscribe now
