Thailand to close oil leak command centre after less than two weeks

[snoop1130]

Press conference by the command centre on February 3, 2022

 

Thailand is set to close the command centre handling the oil leak in its eastern province of Rayong today (Friday), after the slicks leaked in the Gulf of Thailand last Tuesday have been successfully dispersed.

 

Authorities will still monitor the situation closely for at least another seven days. Though the oil on the surface of the ocean has been dispersed, some black lumps have been detected under water. It is yet to be confirmed whether the material is related to the oil spill. Samples have been collected for lab analysis.

 

Containment booms will remain in place in some areas around Khao Laem Ya – Mu Ko Samet Island, to prevent any drifting oil reaching the shoreline. Observation vessels will also be deployed.
