Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of An-Hai

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) is actively managing the containment and cleanup process following an oil spill incident in Singapore's waters, which occurred after the collision between the container ships "Wan Hai 301" and "APL Denver". As of January 5, a robust response has seen the deployment of 17 vessels and a workforce of 222 dedicated personnel. Cleanup operations are currently focused on the western coastlines of Pulau Ubin, specifically at OBS Jetty and Nenas Channel. In the early hours, oil patches were observed near several locations, including CAFHI Jetty and along the shorelines at Pasir Ris Beach, Changi Point Ferry Terminal, Changi Sailing Club, and Changi Beach. To address these concerns, contractors have been quick to engage in cleanup efforts along the affected shorelines. In addition to on-site personnel, oil spill response vessels, containment booms, and spill recovery equipment such as harbour busters and skimmers have been deployed to mitigate the impact of the spill. The Johor Port Authority (JPA) has also contributed to the effort by dispatching four anti-pollution craft to the incident location, alongside an oil boom set up around the "APL Denver" to help contain the spread of the spill. As of January 7, the "Wan Hai 301" is securely moored at Pengerang Anchorage as the response teams continue their diligent work to restore the affected areas.

Cleaning operations are currently in progress to address an oil spill incident involving 300 tons of Marine Fuel Oil (MFO) 500 CST, released from the container ship APL Denver in the Johor Strait, close to Pasir Gudang Port. Authorities estimate that it may take a week to fully manage the clean-up, with the duration hinging on prevailing weather conditions and ocean currents. Fortunately, the incident has not adversely impacted local residents, including fishermen, nor has it disrupted operations at private jetties or the Sultan Iskandar Power Station. Johor Port continues to operate normally, although vessels might experience delays in docking at the Container Terminal due to ongoing containment efforts. Thanks to the swift response from Johor Port Bhd and the collaboration with agencies comprising the Pasir Gudang Oil Spill Task Force, the Department of Environment, South Region Marine Department, and Port of Tanjung Pelepas, the spill's spread has been effectively contained. Concurrently, authorities in Singapore took immediate action to monitor and address the spill extending into their waters. Aerial surveillance detected two concentrated oil patches near the western coastlines of Pulau Ubin (OBS Jetty) and Nenas Channel. As of the evening of January 4, no further oil sightings have been reported. The Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) of Singapore, along with its contractors, has deployed nine vessels to manage the oil patches, utilizing skimmers and booms placed at the affected sites.

In a maritime incident on January 3, 2017, at 11:50 PM, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) was alerted by the Johor Port Authority (JPA) about a collision involving the container vessel 'Wan Hai 301', which experienced a power failure and lost control, and the 'APL Denver' near Pasir Gudang Port. The 'APL Denver', having departed the port on January 2 at 10 AM en route to Hong Kong, reported significant damage to bunker tank 6, resulting in an oil spill of approximately 300 tonnes. In response, the JPA mobilized four anti-pollution vessels and established an oil boom around the impacted ship to mitigate the spill. The 'APL Denver' returned to Pasir Gudang Container Terminal on January 4 at 3 AM, while the 'Wan Hai 301', arriving from Port Klang, docked at the same terminal on January 3 at 5:30 PM. Additionally, oil patches were observed off the western coast of Pulau Ubin, but have since been contained. The MPA has responded by deploying eight anti-pollution vessels equipped with dispersant spraying capabilities to effectively manage the cleanup of the spilled oil.
