Tanker still leaking oil

SINGAPORE (AP): Oil was still leaking on Thursday from a Panama-registered tanker that ran aground in Indonesian waters two days earlier, officials said on Thursday.

Strong winds have blown some of the spilled oil into the waters of Singapore's busy port, the Maritime and Port Authority said.

At least 7,000 metric tons of crude oil spilled into the sea after the 51,095-gross ton Natuna Sea ran aground at dawn on Tuesday. None of the 32 people aboard were injured.

The disabled vessel was still grounded in Indonesian waters about eight kilometers southeast of Singapore on Thursday.
