Beaches on Singapore’s resort island and wealthy expat haven of Sentosa were impacted by an oil spill at a nearby port that spread to its waters.

Sentosa Development Corp., which manages the island, was alerted on Friday night to “instances of oil spillage in the sea waters” around one of its popular beaches as a result of an accident between two vessels at the terminal, according to a notice to Sentosa residents on Saturday.
