The Pollution Control Department (PCD) will establish a committee to evaluate environmental damage caused by a marine oil spill some 20 kilometres off the coast of Rayong province that occurred last week.
The department's chief, Atthapol Charoenchansa, said the committee will calculate how much compensation Star Petroleum Refining Plc is required to pay for clean-up after oil leaked from one of its pipelines in the Gulf of Thailand.
