新加坡：新加坡海事及港口管理局（MPA）在周日（11月1日）的一份声明中表示，当局在实巴洛岛、实马高岛和巴乌海峡附近的新加坡南部海域发现油斑，正在调查其来源。
SINGAPORE: Oil patches have been spotted in Singapore's southern waters off Pulau Sebarok, Pulau Semakau and Selat Pauh, with authorities investigating their source.
海事及港口管理局表示，在西海岸、圣淘沙、南部群岛或东海岸未发现油斑。
No oil patches were seen near West Coast, Sentosa, the Southern Islands or East Coast, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said in a statement on Sunday (Nov 1).
海事及港口管理局于上午10时25分左右接获实巴洛岛附近海域发现油污的报告。空中监视随后确认该区域有多处油斑。
MPA was alerted to a sighting of oil in the waters off Pulau Sebarok at about 10.25am. Aerial surveillance later confirmed several oil patches in the area.
该局已启动漏油应急承包商，并指示该区域的码头部署其漏油应急资源。
The authority has activated its oil spill response contractors, while terminals in the area have been directed to deploy their spill response resources.
相关机构也已接获通知，在必要时采取预防措施保护海岸线，而港内船只被要求报告任何油斑目击情况。海事及港口管理局表示，「对航行交通和港口运作没有影响」。
Relevant agencies have also been alerted to take precautionary measures to protect shorelines if necessary, while ships in port have been asked to report any sightings of oil patches. There has been "no impact to navigational traffic and port operations", MPA said.
该局补充说，正继续进行监视，并与机构和码头合作减轻和清理油斑，同时调查其来源。
The authority added that it was continuing surveillance and working with agencies and terminals to mitigate and clean up the oil patches, while investigating their source.
实马高岛是新加坡唯一垃圾填埋场的所在地，位于大陆以南约8公里处。巴乌海峡是实马高岛附近的一段水域。
Pulau Semakau, which is home to Singapore's only landfill, is about 8km south of the mainland. Selat Pauh is a stretch of water near Pulau Semakau.
新加坡于2024年6月经历了一起重大漏油事故，当时一艘疏浚船在巴西班让码头撞上一艘停泊的加油驳船，导致约400吨低硫燃料泄漏。
Singapore experienced a major oil spill in June 2024 when about 400 tonnes of low-sulphur fuel were released after a dredger hit a stationary bunker vessel at Pasir Panjang Terminal.
随后油污冲上了包括圣淘沙、东海岸公园、拉勃勒自然保护区和南部群岛在内的多处海岸线。
The oil subsequently washed up on several coastlines, including Sentosa, East Coast Park, Labrador Nature Reserve and the Southern Islands.
