A state of emergency was declared in eastern Thailand’s Rayong province on January 29, 2022, after crude oil began washing up on its shores. Authorities are conducting clean-up operations to prevent the oil from contaminating other beaches. Some 20-50 tonnes of oil are estimated to have leaked from an undersea hosepipe used to load offshore tankers on January 25, despite the spill being plugged within hours of discovery.
