Great photo Sea Apache.... I had to find out what caused the serious damage.
The collision couldn't have been more 'precise' in that the only damage appears to be to the entire length of the acomodation and engine room / bunker tanks.
Luckily there were no injuries sustained to any of the crew.
I found this :-
"At approximately 05.14 hrs local time on Saturday 17th February, the Danaos Corporation-owned, Safmarine Container Lines-operated 3101 TEU container ship SA Helderberg was involved in a collision with the 77,356 DWT, Singapore-registered Oil Tanker Ocean Sapphire off the coast of Singapore.

No members of the crew onboard the SA Helderberg were injured. No damage was sustained to any of the cargo onboard the ship. The S.A Helderberg sustained some damage on her starboard side with water inflow, but this is under control and a pump is being used to discharge ingress into the 5000 tonne chartered barge Mariott International, with a third, smaller vessel ferrying bilges to a safe disposal area unit on shore.

Following the impact, some oil has leaked from a fuel tank from the SA Helderberg into the sea. The Malaysian authorities took control over anti-pollution measures, deploying Two Malaysian anti-pollution vessels to disperse the oily sheen, and placing a boom around the vessel to ensure no further fuel escapes from area.

The Malaysian authorities are satisfied with the pollution control measures already taken and as of Thursday 22nd February at 20hrs25 local time have ordered stand-down of their own pollution dispersal vessels. Nevertheless, an anti-pollution vessel is being retained by the vessel charterers for any contingency, and the boom remains in place around the vessel."

Regards, Rick
