Shell shuts down Pulau Bukom unit to investigate leak

The company estimated that a few tonnes of the refined oil products were leaked.

Shell reported it has shut down one of its oil processing units at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park at Pulau Bukom to investigate a suspected leak in the system, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and National Environment Agency said.

The company estimated that a few tonnes of the refined oil products were leaked, together with the cooling water discharge.

Shell has laid containment and absorbent booms and sprayed dispersants in the channel. Currently, no oil patches are observed in the vicinity of Pulau Bukom.

Moreover, MPA and Shell have deployed boats to clean up light oil sheens off Pulau Bukom.

Agencies are closely monitoring the situation and have deployed satellites and drones for surveillance. As a precaution, oil-absorbent booms will be laid at Sisters' Islands Marine Park and the beaches on Sentosa.
