Dramatic footage captured the moment a 750-foot Panama-flagged bulk carrier, the First Margaux, collided with a 160-foot Chinese fishing vessel, the Luqing Yuanyu 108, off the coast of Singapore.
The incident occurred on September 17, when both vessels had departed from an anchorage area and were traveling westbound in the same traffic lane. Their paths overlapped, leading to the violent impact.
Verified onboard video and ship-tracking data confirmed the identities of the two vessels involved in the collision. The footage shows the fishing boat tilting heavily in the water following the impact. The full extent of any damage or injuries has not yet been detailed.
