2024年7月2日，新加坡永續發展與環境部長傅海燕在國會就巴西班讓碼頭漏油事件發表部長聲明。

**以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：** 

議長先生：傅海燕部長和李智陞部長將發表相關部長聲明。因此，我將允許議員在第三份聲明之後，就所有三份聲明提出澄清要點。請永續發展和環境部長傅海燕女士發表聲明。

傅海燕（永續發展和環境部長）：謝謝議長先生。我將介紹陸地清理工作的進展情況、所面臨的挑戰和對保護工人和公眾健康和福祉的重視、對企業的影響以及我們在監測對食品、空氣和水質安全的影響方面的努力。

我們在清理漏油方面取得了良好進展。截至 6 月 30 日，已收集了 1,200 多噸浸油沙子和碎片，海邊大部分的浮油已被清除。大部分浸油沙子已被清除並送往有毒廢物處理設施進行安全處理和處置。我們還部署了圍油欄，以防止油污被衝上岸或流入我們的內陸運河。

如果沒有多個機構和許多服務提供商的不懈和協同努力，這次行動是不可能完成的。一些議員對我們工人的福祉和安全提出了質疑。我想向各位議員保證，工人的福祉是我們的首要任務。我們一直在採取許多措施來確保他們的安全和福祉。

首先，關於空氣品質。作為空氣品質監測制度的一部分，國家環境局通過設在新加坡不同地點的24/7 環境空氣監測站網絡，監測環境中的揮發性有機化合物 (VOC) 水平。其中一個監測站位於聖淘沙，還有一個位於東海岸公園的東端。在此期間，監測站沒有檢測到任何異常，包括苯、甲苯和二甲苯 (BTX)，這些物質通常與加油燃料和其他石化產品有關。

6 月 15 日，當浮油到達我們的海岸線時，國家環境局開始使用移動探測器在東海岸公園、聖淘沙和拉柏多自然保護區的受影響區域進行每日空氣品質測試，以確保公眾和清理人員的安全。檢測到的揮發性有機化合物（包括 BTX）均在安全範圍內。

王心妍（西海岸集選區議員）女士詢問吸入油煙是否會對健康和安全造成影響。我已解釋過，受影響區域的空氣品質是安全的，這既基於我們全天候環境空氣監測站的測量結果，也基於使用移動探測器進行的局部每日測試。雖然海濱或海岸線附近的公眾可能會不時聞到異味，尤其是在漏油初期，但在這些區域周圍活動是安全的。

其次，作為標準操作程序的一部分，服務提供商參與了我們的漏油響應的許多關鍵職能。他們中的許多人都是專業承包商，負責鋪設圍油欄和清理難以清理的區域，例如岩石堤壩。還有一些是一般清潔承包商，參與清理海灘上的油砂和雜物。這些服務提供商參加了我們定期舉行的漏油演習，熟悉自己的角色和流程。在部署之前，工作人員會被告知他們的任務和工作場所安全。

我們定期提醒各機構及其承包商確保提供充足的休息時間和補充水分。我們還提醒清潔承包商確保工人享有休息日，並在可能的情況下考慮輪換工人。身體不適的工人應向僱主尋求支持和幫助。

第三，關於防護設備。黃國光（義順集選區議員)先生、何廷儒（盛港集選區議員）女士、楊益財（拉丁馬士單選區議員）先生和王心妍（西海岸集選區議員）女士詢問了為我們的工人提供個人防護設備 (PPE) 的情況。與在新加坡開展的任何工作一樣，僱主（包括承包商）在部署和裝備工人時，有責任評估現場條件、任務性質和風險。

在漏油事件發生後的幾天內，當大量油污被衝上岸時，國家環境局向參與清理工作的人員發出了一般性建議，要求他們佩戴口罩、護目鏡、橡膠手套和高筒防水靴作為個人防護裝備的一部分。儘管空氣品質遠在安全水平之內，但作這額外的預防措施，還是這樣做了。在大部分石油被清除後，國家環境局更新了建議，不再要求佩戴口罩和護目鏡。

清理工作的第一階段側重於清除受影響海灘表面的浮油和受污染的沙子，並部署圍油欄以避免進一步污染。所有剩餘受影響地區都已進入清理響應的第二階段，重點是清理難以清理的區域，如岩石堤壩、防波堤和深埋在沙子中的石油。公眾可能會注意到海灘的一般清潔工作有所減少，因為更多專業團隊被派往這些難以清理的區域。由於石油殘留物可能會繼續被衝上岸，因此可能仍需要對海灘進行一般清潔。

第二階段的清潔方法已由石油泄漏顧問和清潔承包商共同決定。由於每個受影響區域的海岸線可能不同，這些方法可能會在過程中不斷改進。對於生態敏感地區，將就部署的方法諮詢國家公園局 (NParks)。

第二階段的清潔工作完成後，我們將進入最後階段，從海灘上清除焦油球並檢查受影響區域是否有任何殘留的油污。

我們預計清理工作將持續大約三個月，但每個地區的清理時間會有所不同，具體取決於受影響的程度。隨著清理工作的繼續推進，ONE°15 碼頭和吉寶灣碼頭已經重新開放。聖淘沙、東海岸公園和南島海灘的封閉區域將逐步開放，供人們進行陸上活動。我們將對水質進行測試，確保水質至少恢復正常並穩定一周，然後再恢復游泳和其他主要接觸海上活動。

各機構一直在密切關注事態發展。我們了解石油泄漏給企業帶來的挫敗感和不便。這就是為什麼管理聖淘沙和南島企業的聖淘沙發展局和共同管理東海岸公園海濱的其他機構（如國家公園局）一直在積極聯繫租戶。

各機構正在制定租金延期措施，以根據具體情況幫助受影響的企業解決現金流問題。聖淘沙發展局還將通過營銷和社交媒體支持來促進客流量的恢復。

正如交通部（MOT）在上周的聯合新聞發布會上提到的那樣，漏油事件造成的經濟損失可以用於索賠。保險公司的聯繫方式已向公眾公布。

許多志願者挺身而出，為清理工作提供幫助。由於任務的複雜性和個人安全，志願者沒有直接參與海灘清理行動。

娜蒂雅（宏茂橋集選區議員）女士詢問公民如何參與我們的清理工作。我們正在考慮動員志願者參與清理工作的最後階段，其中需要篩選和分離硬化並與沙子混合的焦油球形式的殘留石油沉積物，以便清除。這個過程是勞動密集型的，如果我們有更多的人手來幫忙，就可以減輕清潔工的負擔，並加速海灘的重新開放。

如果要動員志願者，我們將利用那些已在國家公園局註冊的志願者，以及許多通過社交媒體和 WhatsApp 與我本人和永續發展與環境部（MSE）聯繫的志願者團體，在評估安全無虞的情況下這樣做。公共衛生理事會將協助培訓、裝備和協調志願者開展這項工作。這將是新加坡人為海灘重新開放做出貢獻的一個安全而有意義的方式。

現在，我將回答陳慧玲（東海岸集選區議員）女士、王心妍（西海岸集選區議員）女士和謝曜全（裕廊集選區議員）先生提出的有關食品安全和水質的問題。迄今為止，我們的養魚場仍未受到漏油事件的影響。不過，作為預防措施，新加坡食品局一直在從東柔佛海峽的沿海養魚場抽取海鮮樣本進行食品安全檢測。我們也在監測進口魚類和海鮮的質量。檢測結果繼續表明，本地魚類和進口魚類可供安全食用。

王心妍（西海岸集選區議員）女士女士詢問是否可以每小時向養魚場和相關非政府組織社區提供海洋環境傳感網絡 (Marine Environment Sensing Network ,簡稱MESN) 浮標的實時數據。據我了解，MESN 目前在聖約翰島部署了一個浮標，經評估為高度可信的實時數據，可在 MESN 在線數據平台上公開訪問。

我們的供水沒有受到影響。包括最靠近漏油地點的裕廊島海水淡化廠在內的5家海水淡化廠的傳感器繼續顯示海水質量沒有異常。如果新加坡供水系統中的任何一家工廠發生故障，公共事業局 (PUB) 將提高其餘海水淡化廠的生產能力。議長先生，請允許我用普通話發言。

我們在清理石油污染方面取得了良好進展。我們收集了超過 1 200 多噸被油浸透的沙子，海濱的大部分浮油已被有效清除。我們還部署了圍油欄，防止漏油流入海岸或內陸。

在此，我要衷心感謝各政府機構和清潔承包商。在他們的密切配合和不懈努力下，清理工作進展順利。

為確保公眾和清理人員的安全，我們採取了一系列措施。在受油污影響的地區，我們進行了空氣品質檢測，以確保附近居民、遊客和清理人員的人身安全。空氣品質一直保持在安全水平。

在開始清理工作之前，我們向人員介紹了工作範圍和安全措施，並為他們提供了適當的個人防護設備。我們還確保人員有足夠的休息時間，並定期補充水分。

整個清理工作預計需要三個月左右的時間。聖淘沙、東海岸公園和南島的海灘將逐步重新向公眾開放，供陸上活動使用。我們將進行水質檢測，確保水質恢復正常並保持穩定至少一周，然後才允許游泳和水上活動。

我們也正考慮動員志願者參與最後階段的清理工作，以減輕清理人員的負擔，加快海灘的重新開放。

有關部門一直在密切關注事態發展。我們了解漏油事件給一些企業帶來了不便。受影響的企業和相關方可以向船東的保險代理人提出索賠。

各機構正在制定租金延期措施，以根據具體情況幫助受影響的企業解決現金流問題。聖淘沙發展公司還將通過市場營銷和社交媒體支持，促進人流的回升。在食品安全和供水方面，我們的養魚場沒有受到漏油事件的影響。儘管如此，新加坡食品局（SFA）一直在監測進口海產品的質量，並採取預防措施，確保食品安全。我們的供水也沒有受到影響。

議長先生，最後，由於我們目前正處於清理行動的第二階段，第一階段採取的一些預防措施，例如受影響海灘的每日空氣監測和養魚場的水質監測，已變得不那麼緊迫。鑒於情況已經穩定，我們將逐步取消不再需要的措施，以便各機構能夠專注於當前的需求。

我們的機構將繼續推進清潔行動，並監測我們的空氣、食物和水的質量，以及對受影響利益相關者的影響。我要感謝在清潔行動中不懈努力的眾多清潔人員、主管和公職人員。我也感謝服務合作夥伴、志願者和公眾的支持。

我們期待下一個也是最後一個階段的行動，屆時，我們將邀請志願者協助清潔工作，以便我們珍愛的環境儘快恢復健康。

以下是英文質詢內容：

**PASIR PANJANG TERMINAL OIL SPILL INCIDENT ON 14 JUNE 2024（2）**

**(Statements by Minister for Transport, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment and Minister for National Development)**

Mr Speaker: Minister Grace Fu and Minister Desmond Lee will be making related Ministerial Statements. So, I will allow Members to raise their points of clarification on all three Statements after the third Statement. I call on the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, Ms Grace Fu.

The Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (Ms Grace Fu Hai Yien): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I will address the progress of our land-based clean-ups, the challenges involved, our emphasis on protecting the health and well-being of our workers and the public, the impact to the businesses and our efforts in monitoring any impact on the safety of our food, air and water quality.

We have made good progress in cleaning up the oil spill. As of 30 June, over 1,200 tonnes of oil-soaked sand and debris have been collected and much of the oil slicks on our beachfronts has been removed. The bulk of oil-soaked sand has been removed and sent to toxic waste treatment facilities for safe treatment and disposal. Booms have also been deployed to prevent oil from being washed ashore or into our inland canals.

This operation will not have been possible without the tireless and coordinated efforts from multiple agencies and many service providers. Several Members have raised questions about the welfare and safety of our workers. I would like to assure Members that the well-being of our workers is our priority. We have been taking many steps to ensure their safety and well-being.

First, on air quality. As part of its air quality monitoring regime, NEA monitors ambient levels of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, through our network of 24/7 ambient air monitoring stations at various locations in Singapore. One of the monitoring stations is located on Sentosa and there is also one at the eastern-end of East Coast Park. The monitoring stations did not detect any anomalies over this period of time, including for benzene, toluene and xylene, or BTX, that are commonly associated with bunkering fuels and other petrochemicals.

When the oil slick reached stretches of our coastline on 15 June, NEA began conducting daily air quality tests using mobile detectors at affected areas of East Coast Park, Sentosa and Labrador Nature Reserve to ensure the safety of the public and clean-up personnel. The VOCs detected, including for BTX, have been well within safe limits.

Miss Rachel Ong1 asked if there were health and safety concerns from breathing in the oil fumes. I have explained that the air quality at affected areas is safe, based on both measurements from our 24/7 ambient air monitoring stations as well as localised daily testing using mobile detectors. While members of the public near the beachfront or shoreline may experience odour from time to time, especially in the early days of the oil spill, it is safe to be around these areas.

Second, as part of the SOP, service providers are involved in our oil spill response in many critical functions. Many of them are specialised contractors involved in the laying of booms and in cleaning of difficult-to-clean areas, such as rock bunds. Others are general cleaning contractors involved in clearing the beaches of oily sand and debris. These service providers participate in our regular oil spill exercises and are familiar with their roles and processes. Before deployment, personnel are briefed on their tasks and workplace safety.

Agencies and their contractors are regularly reminded to ensure that sufficient rest breaks and rehydration are provided. We have also reminded cleaning contractors to ensure that workers receive rest days and consider rotating workers, where possible. Workers who feel unwell should approach their employer for support and assistance.

Third, on protective equipment. Mr Louis Ng, Ms He Ting Ru, Mr Melvin Yong and Miss Rachel Ong2 asked about the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for our workers. As is the case for any work carried out in Singapore, employers, including the contractors, are responsible for assessing the site conditions, nature of tasks and risks when deploying and equipping their workers.

In the immediate few days after the oil spill, when a sizeable amount of oil was washed up on shore, NEA issued a general advisory for personnel involved in the clean-up effort to include masks, goggles, rubber gloves and high waterproof boots as part of their PPE. This was done as an additional precaution even though the air quality was well within safe levels. After the bulk of the oil was removed, NEA updated the advisory to no longer require masks and goggles.

The first phase of the clean-up focused on removing the oil slicks and contaminated sand from the surface of affected beaches and deploying booms to avoid further contamination. All the remaining affected areas have entered the second phase of the clean-up response, which focuses on difficult to clean areas like rock bunds, breakwaters and oil trapped deeper in the sand. Members of the public may notice a scaling down of general cleaning at the beaches, as more specialised teams are deployed to clean these difficult areas. General cleaning of the beaches may still be required, as oil remnants may continue to be washed ashore.

The cleaning methods for the second phase have been decided jointly between the oil spill consultants and the cleaning contractors. These methods may be refined along the way as the shoreline of each affected area may be different. For ecologically-sensitive locations, the National Parks Board (NParks) is consulted on the methods to be deployed.

Once the second phase of cleaning operation is completed, we will move to the final phase where we remove tar balls from the beaches and inspect affected areas for any remaining oil stains.

We expect the clean-up to take around three months, but these will vary for each area, depending on the extent they are affected. ONE°15 Marina and the Marina at Keppel Bay have reopened as clean-up efforts continue to progress. The cordoned-off area of the beaches at Sentosa, along East Coast Park and Southern Islands will progressively open for land-based activities. We will test the water quality to ensure that it is back to normal and stable for at least a week before resuming swimming and other primary-contact sea activities.

Agencies have been monitoring the situation carefully and closely. We understand the frustration and inconvenience that businesses have experienced due to the oil spill. That is why SDC, which manages Sentosa and businesses on the Southern Islands, and other agencies, such as NParks, that collectively manage the beachfront along East Coast Park, have been proactively reaching out to their tenants.

The agencies are developing rental deferral measures to help affected businesses with their cash flow on a case-by-case basis. SDC will also look to promote a return of footfall through marketing and social media support.

As mentioned by the Ministry of Transport (MOT) during last week's joint press conference, the economic losses resulting from the oil spill can be accessed for claims. Contact details of the insurer have been made available to the public.

Many volunteers have stepped forward to offer their assistance in the clean-up operations. Volunteers have not been directly involved in the beach clean-up actions, due to the complexity of the tasks and for their personal safety.

Ms Nadia Ahmad Samdin asked how citizens can be involved in our clean-up efforts. We are considering mobilising volunteers for the final phase of the clean-up, where remnant oil deposits hardened and mixed with sand in the form of tar balls will need to be sieved and separated for removal. This process is labour-intensive and if we have more hands to help, we can relieve the cleaners and accelerate the reopening of the beaches.

If and when volunteers are mobilised, we will tap on those who have registered with NParks as well as many volunteer groups who have contacted me personally and the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) through social media and WhatsApp after assessing that it is safe to do so. The Public Hygiene Council will help to train, equip and coordinate with volunteers for this effort. This would be a safe and meaningful way for Singaporeans to contribute to the reopening of our beaches.

I will now address questions on food safety and water quality, which Miss Cheryl Chan, Miss Rachel Ong and Mr Xie Yao Quan have raised. To date, our fish farms remain unaffected by the oil spill. Nonetheless, as a precautionary measure, the Singapore Food Agency has been taking seafood samples from coastal fish farms in the East Johor Strait for food safety tests. We are also monitoring the quality of imported fish and seafood. The test results continue to indicate that our local fish and imported fish are safe for consumption.

Miss Rachel Ong3 asked if real-time data from the Marine Environment Sensing Network (MESN) buoys can be made available on an hourly basis to fish farms and relevant non-governmental organisations' communities. I understand that MESN currently deploys one buoy at St John's Island and real-time data that has been assessed to be of high confidence is publicly accessible on MESN's online data platform.

There has been no impact to our water supply. Sensors at our five desalination plants, including at the Jurong Island Desalination Plant closest to the oil spill location, continue to show no abnormalities in the quality of seawater. In the event that any plant in Singapore's water supply system is disrupted, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) will step up production capacity in our remaining plants. Mr Speaker, allow me to speak in Mandarin, please.

(In Mandarin): We have made good progress in cleaning up the oil pollution. We have collected over 1,200 tonnes of oil-soaked sand and effectively, most of the oil slicks at the beachfront have been removed. We have also deployed booms to prevent oil leaks from reaching the shore or flowing inland.

Here, I would like to express sincere gratitude to various Government agencies and cleaning contractors. Thanks to their close coordination and relentless efforts, the cleanup work has proceeded smoothly.

To ensure public safety and the safety of cleaning personnel, we have implemented a series of measures. In the areas affected by oil pollution, we have conducted air quality tests to ensure the personal safety of nearby residents, tourists and clean-up personnel. The air quality has remained at safe levels.

Before commencing the clean-up work, we briefed the personnel on the work scope and safety measures, and provided them with appropriate personal protective equipment. We also ensured that the personnel have sufficient rest time and regularly replenish their fluids.

The entire clean-up work is expected to take about three months. The beaches at Sentosa, East Coast Park and the Southern Islands will be gradually reopened to the public for land-based activities. We will conduct water quality tests to ensure that water quality is restored to normal and remain stable for at least one week before allowing swimming and water activities.

We are also considering mobilising volunteers to participate in the final phase of the clean-up work, to lighten the burden on the cleaning personnel and expedite the reopening of beaches.

Relevant authorities have been closely monitoring the situation. We understand that the oil spill incident has caused inconvenience to some businesses. Affected businesses and relevant parties can file claims with the vessel owners』 insurance agents.

The agencies are developing rental deferral measures to help affected businesses with their cash flow, on a case-by-case basis. Sentosa Development Corporation will also look to promote a return of footfall through marketing and social media support. In terms of food safety and water supply, our fish farms have not been affected by the oil spill incident. Nevertheless, SFA has been monitoring the quality of imported seafood and implementing preventive measures to ensure food safety. Our water supply has also not been affected.

(In English): Mr Speaker, in conclusion, as we are now in the second phase of the clean-up operations, some of the precautionary measures adopted in the first phase, such as daily air monitoring at affected beaches and water quality monitoring for our fish farms, have become less pressing. Given that the conditions have stabilised, we will gradually step down measures that are no longer required so that agencies can focus on the current demands.

Our agencies will continue to press on with cleaning operations and monitor the quality of our air, food and water, as well as the impact on affected stakeholders. I would like to thank the many cleaning personnel, supervisors and Public Officers who have worked tirelessly in the clean-up operations. I am also thankful for the support from service partners, volunteers and the public.

We look forward to the next and final phase of operations, where we would be inviting volunteers to help with the clean-up, so that we can nurse our cherished environment back to health as soon as possible.
