Singapore has closed off popular tourist coastal hotspots on the island of Sentosa because of an oil spill created when a Netherlands-flagged dredger collided with an anchored Singaporean fuel supply ship on June 14, 2024. Authorities have been fighting the slick using oil dispersants, but the island state’s topography has been making clean-up difficult. Parts of the beach have been closed to the public.
