Greek and Japanese capesize bulkers collide off Singapore
Two capesize bulkers collided off Singapore on Wednesday.
Brave Maritime’s 181,500-dwt Cape XL (built 2011) came into contact with Nissen Kaiun’s 208,800-dwt Huge Kumano (built 2020), according to photographs seen by TradeWinds.
Vessel tracking data showed the Marshall Islands-flagged Cape XL was departing Singapore’s eastern anchorage for Qingdao, China when it was in collision with the Panama-flagged Huge Kumano, which was transiting the Singapore Strait while on a voyage from Brazil.
Always maintain safe speed and sharp lookout!
