Collision off Singapore
On the morning of September 1, the 103 meter long, 8270 dwt bunker tanker Marine Dynamo (IMO: 9956719) collided with the 190 meter long, 56526 dwt bulk carrier Flag Gangos (IMO: 9643908) in the Singapore Strait some 8 kilometers south of Tanah Merah, Singapore. Both ships were stable after the collision. One crew member on the Marine Dynamo suffered minor injuries and was being treated onboard the tanker. There were no reports of injuries or pollution released on the Flag Gangos.
Singapore authorities reported there was a light sheen of oil that could be seen around the Marine Dynamo. The master of the tanker reported that a fuel tank above the waterline holding marine gas oil had been damaged by the collision and was the source of the pollution. Authorities deployed a response team with multiple vessels to aid in the disperse of the oil sheens while drones were used to monitor the situation. The incident is under investigation by authorities.
