Oil spill: Yacht charters stuck in limbo, unsure of assistance as they face economic losses
Yacht charters in Singapore are stuck in limbo, unsure if they qualify for any assistance, while haemorrhaging losses from the oil spill. Some are slashing boat rates and using social media to bring back customers, but they said it's not enough to cover the full extent of losses. With three months to go until the end of the second phase of the oil spill clean-up, yacht owners are hoping for more to be done to help them tide through this period. Claudia Lim reports.
