The Cyprus-flag, 67,270 dwt, 2004-built, Tina I ran aground near Batu Berhanti at 23-40hrs on 22 November appearing to collide with stern of the Shahraz. Local reports confirmed the grounding and that it was being investigated by the Basarnas Batam post.
Based on vessel traffic data the Greek-owned and managed Tina I had sailed from Pasir Panjang terminal in Singapore at 23-00hrs bound for Jakarta, Indonesia and headed towards the eastbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme in the Singapore Strait. An industry source said the Master could have become disorientated at night in the busy shipping lane.
