The vessel, which kept escaping after it collided with a Singaporean oil tanker while travelling off the coast of Singapore, has been salvaged. The vessel, named “Series One”, was found by the Malaysian Coast Guard. The two ships collided near Singapore, the world’s largest oil port. A Series One tanker is anchored in the Hafnia Nile River.
The Malaysian Coast Guard said the Series One fled the area after the two vessels collided. The tracking device showing the vehicle’s location was also turned off. The incident caused a fire on the Hafnia Nile and injured two crew members.
The Series One was found off the coast of Malaysia. The Malaysian Coast Guard said the vessel was handcuffed to two other tugboats when it was found. Malaysian authorities seized the Series One and the two tugboats and arrested the crew. Moreover, Malaysian authorities are investigating the incident.
The collision between the two ships caused damage to the Hafnia Nile and there is a risk of oil spilling into the sea. However, the agency investigating the incident said that so far no significant amount of oil has been spilled into the sea. “The Malaysian Department of Environment is further investigating the incident,” the Coast Guard said.
There were 22 crew members on board the Hafnia Nile at the time of the incident. In addition, there were 40 crew members on board the first round, according to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). The agency said they were all in good condition. It is not yet clear whether the Hafnia Nile fire has been fully extinguished.
The Hafnia Nile was carrying 74,000 metric tons of oil. The vessel was carrying 300,000 barrels of oil at the time of the accident. The Series One was reportedly carrying 2 million barrels of oil at the time of the accident. The vessel was carrying oil from Iran.
