A dredger boat which suddenly lost engine and steering control hit a stationary cargo tanker, causing an oil spill in Singapore. Singaporean authorities said the Netherlands-flagged dredger Vox Maxima struck Singaporean fuel supply ship Marine Honor on June 14, 2024. It ruptured one of the cargo tanks on the Marine Honor, which leaked low-sulphur oil into the sea. Although the leak has been contained, tides have washed the oil along Singapore’s shoreline, including to the popular resort island of Sentosa. Singapore’s Maritime and Port Authority, in a joint statement with the National Environment Agency, the National Parks Board and Sentosa Development Corporation, said the master and crew members of Vox Maxima were assisting with ongoing investigations into the matter.
