Ship & Photography at Sea

A major collision occured in the Singapore Strait on Tuesday as a Capesize bulker that was departing an anchorage encountered another Capesize that was passing by on a transit through the waterway.

At about 1530 hours local time on the 19th, the 180,000 dwt bulker Cape XL (IMO 9590826) arrived at the famously busy anchorage off Changi Bay, Singapore. Per W.E. Cox, she had stopped to take on bunker fuel. At about 0600 hours on the morning of the 20th, she got under way once more and headed south towards the shipping lanes, AIS data (provided by Pole Star Global) shows.

At the same time, the Capesize bulker Huge Kumano (IMO 9889277) was passing eastbound through the strait at nine knots, using the eastbound lane of the traffic separation scheme. Cape XL approached, heading south and making about six knots, and her bow struck the port side of Huge Kumano amidships. Locked together, the two vessels then drifted eastwards through the TSS. They were later separated and each went to anchor nearby; as of Wednesday, Huge Kumano was anchored in the separation zone in the middle of the strait, attended by two tugs.

W.E. Cox reports that both vessels were in laden condition, with Cape XL carrying bauxite and Huge Kumano carrying iron ore. No pollution or injuries have been reported.

Two capesize bulkers collided off Singapore on Wednesday. Brave Maritime's 181,500-dwt Cape XL (built 2011) came into contact with Nissen Kaiun's 208,800-dwt Huge Kumano (built 2020), according to photographs seen by TradeWinds.

Vessel tracking data showed the Marshall Islands-flagged Cape XL was departing Singapore's eastern anchorage for Qingdao, China when it was in collision with the Panama-flagged Huge Kumano, which was transiting the Singapore Strait while on a voyage from Brazil.

Always maintain safe speed and sharp lookout!

বিএনপি নারী নেতৃত্ব চায়। কিন্তু জিয়া পরিবারের বাহিরের কেউ কি নেতৃত্বে আসতে পারব, বা আসতে দেবে????

আওয়ামী লীগ বা বিএনপিতে এই দুই পরিবারের বাহিরে কেউ নেতৃত্বে আসতে পারবে কি????
