18FEB2019 - NEWS - A small supply and personnel vessel sinks in the westbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme in Singapore

On Thursday, Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) of Singapore said that a small supply and personnel vessel with three Indonesian crew members had capsized and sunk in its territorial waters, near where a similar incident occurred a month ago. All three crew members aboard the Ocean Cooper 2 are safe and no injuries or oil pollution were reported. The incident happened in one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes. The incident occurred close to where a cable ship capsized after a collision with a tanker in January. In the same area, a U.S. guided missile destroyer collided with an oil tanker in 2017, resulting in 10 deaths.
