Emergency teams are working to contain a crude oil spill after two ships - a tanker and a bulk carrier - collided in waters off Singapore.
Port officials said no injuries had been reported but the Malaysian-registered tanker had ruptured one of its tanks.
An estimated 2,000 tonnes of crude oil are leaking into the sea.
The collision happened in the Strait of Singapore, one of the most important shipping lanes in the world.
Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) said the Malaysian-registered tanker Bunga Kelana 3 was damaged in a collision with the MV Wally, registered in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
Both ships are anchored off Singapore as work continues to contain and clean up the oil spill.
The Bunga Kelana 3 was carrying light crude oil and condensate.

This is not the first time there's been an accident & probably not the last time. As usual the burden falls upon the population.
