ACCIDENT: Dredger causes oil leak in Laem Chabang Port area

A dredging vessel working on the Laem Chabang Port Project Phase 3 Harbor in Thailand last week caused an oil leak impacting the nearby ocean.

The Laem Chabang Port Department, Chonburi Harbor Master and Sriracha Offshore 88 Co, Ltd. immediately launched an operation to take control of the oil leak using an oil absorbent (a boom). 

The Pattaya News reports that the oil absorption cleanup project is moving ahead according to the plan.

Currently, the situation is under control and the oil absorption will be complete soon.
