Photo: reporteris.roOn August 28, the 126 meter long, 7321 dwt cargo vessel Sundry (IMO: 9045651) collided with the 118 meter long, 7732 dwt tanker Mazu Xiao (IMO: 9503940) on the Danube-Sulina Canal in Romania.  The Sundry loaded with more than 6,200 tons of barley had suffered a power blackout after engine failure. The vessel attempted to do an emergency anchorage, but was unable to complete it before blocking the path of the passing Mazu Xiao loaded with 6620 tons of diesel fuel from Constanta to Izmail. The Mazu Xiao attempted to veer pass the Sundry but ended up scraping against the hull.

 

The Sundry sustained damage on the stern  starboard hull above the waterline. The Mazu Xiao sustained a large gash along its starboard hull. The Mazu Xiao proceeded to an anchorage off Tulcea, Romania for inspection. The Sundry remained moored at Sulina for inspection. No reports of injuries or pollution released.
