Pretty Bay in Birzebbuga is being reopened for swimming after no contamination was found in tests carried out.

The tests were carried out by the public laboratory on water samples taken from the bay as well as onsite.

Oil was carried into the bay on Thursday after a container carrying specialty base fluids was hit by machinery at the Freeport the previous Monday and started leaking.

The oil was cleared by members of the Civil Protection Department.
