Oil found on Mae Ram Phueng beach and at sea as containment of the spill continues

[webfact]

 

Patches of a thin film of oil were found Saturday on Mae Ram Phueng beach and oil slicks have been detected floating in the sea near the beach.

 

An oil sheen has also been spotted at the PTTLNG port, also in the Muang district of the eastern province of Rayong.

 

Workers from Star Petroleum Refining (SPRC), the company responsible for two oil spills in the past three weeks, have been deployed to collect the oil film being washed ashore by using oil absorbents. Foam booms have also been installed at different points on the beaches and more vessels have put to sea in an effort to contain the oil before it is washed ashore.

The assertion that this is under control is rubbish. It is, sadly, an ongoing disaster.
