SINGAPORE : A portion of the Bedok jetty was damaged by a
wooden barge on Saturday morning.
Ten metres of railing were knocked down after strong winds sent the
anchored barge drifting towards the jetty.
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore was notified by the
Police Coast Guard at about 5am.
The affected section of the jetty was cordoned off.
The barge, which is used to carry liquid petroleum products, was
towed back to its original site.
The incident did not pollute the waters or affect activities around
the jetty. - CNA/ms
