Bulker Collision Off Singapore Leaves Fishing Vessel Unscathed, Video Shows
A video shows the bulk carrier First Margaux colliding with the Chinese fishing vessel Luqing Yuanyu 108 in heavy traffic in the Singapore Strait. The impact pushed Luqing Yuanyu 108 sideways and flooded its deck, but the fishing vessel survived and reached a berth with no injuries reported, while First Margaux continued westward for about two hours before anchoring. The incident occurred in the busy Traffic Separation Scheme near Sentosa, with AIS tracking indicating both vessels remained in operation afterwards. First Margaux is a Panama-flagged, Japanese-owned 80,000 dwt bulker; Luqing Yuanyu 108 is Chinese-flagged.
