Bulk Carriers Collide In China’s Changjiang River, Spilling 9 Tonnes Of Oil
Two bulk carriers collided in China’s Changjiang River, spilling oil on December 30, 2024. The incident occurred at around 10 p.m. Singapore time and involved the Singapore-registered Yangze 22 and the Japan-registered Vega Dream.
After the collision, Yangze 22 suffered hull damage and spilt about nine metric tonnes of fuel oil.
The vessel is now anchored at Hengsha East Anchorage, while cleanup efforts are being coordinated by the Shanghai Maritime Safety Administration (MSA) with the help of support vessels deployed by Yangze 22’s management company.
The MSA assured that the situation is under control. Both ships are stable, and no injuries to the crew on either vessel have been reported.
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said that it is in contact with the Shanghai MSA and the management of Yangze 22 to provide assistance.
The authority also confirmed that it will investigate the collision. Bulk carriers like Yangze 22 and Vega Dream are used to transport dry cargo like coal and grain.
The oil spill has raised environmental concerns, but authorities are working to reduce the impact.
