Cargo ship rams Chinese fishing boat in Singapore Strait
–
Neutral summary
A 229-metre Panama-flagged bulk carrier, First Margaux, collided with the 49-metre Chinese fishing vessel Luqing Yuanyu 108 in the Singapore Strait on Thursday 17 September at around 5pm, according to ship-tracking data cited by The Maritime Executive and reported by South China Morning Post. The video, filmed from aboard the fishing boat and posted on Instagram on Sunday 20 September by an Indonesian sailor named Dana Kaswara, per G1, shows the cargo ship closing in from behind and striking the smaller vessel's starboard side. The impact tilts the fishing boat sharply, sending seawater flooding across the deck as crew members cling to railings. The footage has been widely shared on social media. Baza gives the fishing boat's length as 43 metres, while most other outlets, including South China Morning Post and GB News, report 49 metres. No injuries or fatalities have been reported, according to Ouest-France, Sud Ouest and GB News. Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority has not yet issued a public statement on the collision, GB News reports.
