<p>An estimated 1,320 gallons is believed to have leaked 12 miles off the eastern province of Rayong – the same place where 5,800 gallons spilled into the sea on January 25.</p>
<p>The clean up from the earlier spill – from a mooring point – was declared finished last week, but only after some oil made it onto a beach.</p>
<p>The new leak was reported on Thursday and believed to have come from an underwater pipeline to the mooring point, which was undergoing repairs according to its operator Star Petroleum.</p>
<p>Thai navy spokesman Vice Admiral Pokkrong Manathatphalin said three large slicks from the leak were detected, with chemicals being applied to disperse them.</p>
<p>Floating booms were also deployed, with Star Petroleum saying in a statement the situation is under control.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha expressed his concern and ordered Rayong officials, the navy and the transport ministry’s marine department to urgently contain the problem, government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said.</p>
