Hi Oleg, this is the Hong Kong owned, single skin tanker, 'New World', IMO 9002207. Built in 1991 by Daewoo, Okpo, South Korea (5047), 78,443 g.t. & 136,517 dwt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About midnight on 21/12/1994 the vessel was fully laden with crude oil, on passage from Cap Lopez, Gabon to Dunkirk, France for discharge, when she collided with the Cypriot registered, bulk carrier, 'Ya Mawlaya', IMO 7361790, fully laden with Soya beans from New Orelans to Ancona and Porto Marghera, Italy about 250 miles NE of Madeira, in position 36.12N , 13.00W.
Fire followed the collision, and 8 crew members on the 'New World' were killed - believed to have occurred by the port lifeboat as they tried to abandon ship.
The collision is remarkable as both ships had communicated with one another when still some 9 miles apart and fully aware of each others presence.
The OOW on the 'Ya Mawlaya'- the 'Give Way' vessel refused to alter course for the laden tanker - the 'Stand on' vessel and allegations were raised at subsequent court cases of verbal racist remarks made by the OOW on the bulker!
Further Court hearings decided upon the following:-
1) 'Ya Mawlaya' was unseaworthy with the privity (knowledge) of Kara Mara (the ship owners) upon departure from New Orleans;
2) No, or inadequate, repairs were made to the bridge equipment of 'Ya Mawlaya' including the radar and VHF
radios, before her departure;
3) Her officers were incompetent;
& 4) A 'one man watch system', which was not permissible, was in operation on board 'Ya Mawlaya'.

When the fire on board the 'New World' was brought under control, she was able to proceed under her own power to Lisbon where she arrived on 31/12/1994, for discharge and then examination and repair at Lisnave yard, Lisbon.
