2010 accident and oil spill
Bunga Kelana 3 collided with the bulk freighter, MV Waily, in the Singapore Strait, 13 km southeast of Changi Air Base (East) on May 25, 2010 at 6:10. No injuries were reported among the crew. The tanker captain said 2.000 tonnes of crude oil may have spilled into the sea. MV Waily was anchored in the Straits of Singapore. Traffic in the Straits of Singapore was not affected. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) directed three ships full of oil cleaning equipment to clean up the spilled oil. Stuart Traver of Gaffney, Cline & Associates in Singapore, said the effects were minimal, and would have a different impact than the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
