(Reuters) – Shell on Wednesday said it had completed a clean-up of the channel between Bukom Besar and Kechil Islands near the original source of an oil leak in Bukom, Singapore on Tuesday.
“A joint inspection with authorities was conducted yesterday and authorities have signed off on the status of our completion effort,” it said in a statement.
The company had reported on Oct. 20 that there was an oil leak from a land-based pipeline at Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Singapore on Bukom island.
The company noted that there had been no impact to operations after around 30-40 metric tons of a mixture of oil and water leaked into the sea.
