The 200 meter long ro-ro car carrier Morning Capo collided with the 222 meter long container ship Stadt Rostock off Xiamen, China.  The Stadt Rostock sustained damage to its starboard section of the bow.  The Morning Capo’s hull was holed in the bow. No report of injuries or pollution released.  Both vessels proceeded to a nearby anchorage where authorities conduct an inspection and investigation.  The Morning Capo was en route to Singapore from Gunsan while the Stadt Rostock was headed to Shanghai from Xiamen.
