Emergency teams are battling to contain 2,000 tonnes of crude oil that have leaked into the Singapore Strait after two vessels collided in the busy waterway. Maritime officials said the Malaysian-registered tanker MT Bunga Kelana 3 was damaged in a collision with the MV Wally, a bulk carrier registered in St Vincent and the Grenadines. Four patrol and emergency response vessels and three private craft equipped with oil-spill equipment have been sent to the affected zone. Nobody was injured and ship traffic was not affected by the incident, which took place 13 kilometres off Singapore.
