The 185 meter long, 45653 dwt bulk freighter Abdullah collided with the 178 meter long, 34070 dwt bulk freighter Fortune Cloud at the outer anchorage off Chittagong, Bangladesh.  The Fortune Cloud had its hull bottom ruptured allowing water ingress into the engine room.  The flooding could not be stopped and the Fortune Cloud sank until the vessel’s hull was resting on the seabed.  The Abdullah also suffered hull damage.   No reports of injuries or pollution released.   A tugboat and naval vessel were dispatched to the scene to aid in the rescue efforts.

The lighter motor vessel Manik Mia-2 capsized and sank after colliding with another lighter vessel Addullah near the port of Chittagong, Bangladesh. The Manik Mia-2 was loaded with 1200 tons of cement clinkers from the motor vessel Jian Qiang heading for Narayanganj when it was struck by the Addullah which was empty. The 12 crewmen onboard the Manik Mia-2 were able to climb aboard the Addullah. Reports state the vessels were sailing in dense fog which led to the collision. Attempts to salvage the vessel are on going.
