Two bulk carriers collided in China's Yangtze river, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said on Tuesday, adding that no injuries to the crew were reported, APA reports citing Reuters.
Vega Dream, owned and operated by Japan's Mitsui O.S.K. Lines collided with Yangze 22, the bulk carrier sailing under the Singaporean flag, on Dec. 30, although the vessels were in stable condition, the MPA said.
Yangze 22, whose hull was damaged by the collision, was reported to have spilled about 9 metric tonnes of fuel oil. It is currently stationed at Hengsha East Anchorage for damage assessment, Singapore's port authority said.
