SINGAPORE – Cold storage provider and ice supplier Jurong Marine Cold Storage has been ordered to temporarily suspend operations of its ice-making facility and cold store after an ammonia leak on its premises on June 29.
The directive was issued by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), which said in a statement on June 30 that it would also be testing food products from the premises to determine if the leakage could have affected ice or food.
The leak at Jurong Marine Cold Storage’s premises at 11 Fishery Port Road happened at about 11.45am on June 29, when technicians were carrying out routine maintenance work on the ice-making machines, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said separately on June 30.
