Operation oil spill cleanup completed — Changi Beach now open to the public

After the oil spill from the collision of two container vessels in the waters off Johor Port last week, Changi beach was closed for cleanup operations. The 800m stretch of beach, along with Noordin beach at Pulau Ubin, was covered in a black, tar-like substance. 

Yesterday, the National Environment Agency announced that the cleanup operations for both beaches were completed, and members of the public can now visit Changi beach once again. The NEA is also monitoring the seawater quality at Changi beach, Punggol beach and Pasir Ris beach to ensure that the water quality remains normal.
