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.
