The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said the Libyan-registered tanker Alyarmouk collided with the Singapore-registered bulker Sinar Kapaus resulting in damage to one of the tanker’s cargo tanks and the “spillage of some crude oil”.
MPA said it had sent a helicopter to assess the situation and oil spill response resources had been activated. The size of the spill was not given.
There were no reports of injuries onboard either vessel.
“The two vessels involved in the collision are currently safely anchored and in stable condition. MPA has issued navigational broadcasts for ships to navigate with caution when in the vicinity of the incident site,” the MPA said.
