SINGAPORE: Two bunker tankers collided in the Southern Fairway, about 500 metres south of St John's Island Thursday afternoon.
The Maritime and Port Authority says the collision, which occurred at about 2.20pm resulted in about 200 tonnes of oil spillage from the damaged tank of one of the tankers.
Five anti-pollution craft were despatched to the scene and the oil spill was mostly cleaned up by 5pm.
MPA says a few small oil patches remain but the situation is under control.
The authorities are currently conducting investigations into the accident. - CNA /dt
