Collision in Gulf of Siam
The 185 meter long, 45496 dwt bulk carrier Anton Topic and the 166 meter long, 27321 dwt bulk carrier CN Jumbos collided in the Gulf of Siam off Ko Rin Island, Thailand. The two vessels were leaving the area after completing cargo operations when the Anton Topic struck the port side of the CN Jumbos. The Anton Topic sustained damages to its bow while the CN Jumbos sustained 70 meter long gash to its hull and suffered water ingress in three cargo holds. The Jumbos’ crew managed to stabilize the vessel by creating a 5 degree starboard list by ballasting. No reports of injuries and no pollution released. The Anton Topic was allowed to proceed on its voyage to Malaysia.
