当地时间今天（7月19日）0615左右，接到报告称一艘新加坡籍油轮LR1型油轮 Hafnia Nile
(74,200-dwt，2017年建造)和一艘超大型油轮VLCC在距离Pedra
Branca东北约55公里的隶属于新加坡海上搜救区域的海域发生碰撞并发生火灾。
MPA在声明中表示，MPA已经请求过往船只协助搜救船员。一艘在事故附近的新加坡共和国海军舰艇RSS
Supreme正在提供援助。目前，新加坡共和国空军的一架直升机也已派出，并正在协助撤离船员。
Hafnia Nile轮所属航运公司总部位于新加坡的Hafnia Tankers
随后也发布声明称，目前该公司已经成立应急想租并全力配合新加坡海上救援协调中心。
“对我们22名船员的救援工作目前正在进行中，新加坡当局部署了一架直升机和一艘海军舰艇提供援助。此外，我们已经动员了指定的救援人员来支持正在进行的应对工作。”
该公司还表示，“关于本次事故目前还没有关于污染的信息。我们目前的主要关注点是我们海员的安全和福祉，以及解决这一事件造成的任何潜在环境影响。”
根据Kpler和LSEG的船舶跟踪数据，Hafnia Nile轮于 6 月 10 日从西班牙韦尔瓦出发，原定于当地时间 7 月 27
日上午 10 点抵达日本鹿岛， 该轮上本航次装载着的是石脑油Naptha。
而事故另一方的VLCC是7月11日抵达该海域并一直在当地锚泊。这意味着，本次事件中是过路的Hafnia
Nile轮轮碰撞到了正在锚泊中的VLCC。
根据新加坡海事及港口管理局MPA为信德海事网最新更新的消息（7月19日1517）显示：
Hafnia Nile油轮上共有22名船员，被碰撞的VLCC油轮上有40名船员。所有船员

新加坡共和国海军的Formidable级护卫舰RSS Supreme救起了Hafnia
Nile的16名船员，另外6名在救生艇中的Hafnia Nile船员被马来西亚政府船只救起并转移到RSS Supreme。目前RSS
Supreme正返回新加坡，所有Hafnia Nile船员在船上接受医疗救治。
一艘新加坡籍供应船Dolphin
1救起了被碰撞的VLCC油轮上的14名船员，其中两人已被新加坡共和国空军直升机撤离，并在新加坡综合医院接受医疗救治。其余26名Ceres
I船员仍在船上进行灭火工作。
两艘油轮的船东已安排了救援和灭火设备，以支持灭火工作和后续的船舶拖拽到安全区域等工作。
此次事件未对航行交通造成影响。
Hafnia tanker and VLCC ablaze after South China Sea
collision
Hafnia confirms all crew on the Hafnia Nile have been rescued
By Jonathan Boonzaier
A Hafnia-owned LR tanker is ablaze in the South China Sea after
colliding with a VLCC.
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore said that it was
notified on Friday morning of the incident which resulted in fires
onboard both the 74,200-dwt Hafnia Nile (IMO No. 9766217, built
2017) and the Sao Tome and Principe-flagged 300,000-dwt Ceres I
(IMO No 9229439, built 2001).
The incident (01°43'.5N/104°40'.5E) took place about 55km northeast
of Pedra Branca within Singapore's Maritime Search and Rescue
Region.
“MPA has requested passing vessels to assist in the search and
rescue of the crew,” the MPA said in statement.
“A Republic of Singapore Navy ship, RSS Supreme, which is in
vicinity of the incident is providing assistance.
“Currently, a Republic of Singapore Air Force helicopter has also
been despatched and is assisting with evacuating the crew,” the MPA
added.
Confirming the collision and subsequent fire, Hafnia said in a
statement that team is actively coordinating with the Singapore
Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC).
In a follow-up statement on Friday afternoon, Hafnia confirmed that
all of the Hafnia Nile's 22 strong crew have been rescued.
It added: “Two seafarers have suffered minor injuries while the
remaining 20 crewmembers are understood to be in good
condition.
“The crew members are currently being transferred to shore on a
Singapore Naval vessel and are receiving the necessary medical
checks as required.
“The family of the crew have been informed and are being regularly
updated on the situation,” Hafnia said.
“There is no information on pollution as of now. Our primary focus
at this time is the safety and well-being of our crew members, as
well as addressing any potential environmental impact resulting
from this incident.”
The MPA said on Friday afternoon that a Singapore-flagged supply
vessel that was in the vicinity of the incident picked up 14 crew
from Ceres I, of which two were evacuated by a Republic of
Singapore Air Force helicopter and are currently receiving medical
attention at Singapore General Hospital.
The remaining 26 Ceres I crew are currently conducting
fire-fighting operations onboard.
Salvage and fire-fighting assets have been arranged by both vessel
owners to support the fire-fighting efforts and subsequent towage
of the vessels to safety, said the MPA, which added that
navigational traffic has not been affected.
The Hafnia Nile is loaded with a cargo of Naptha, according to
ship-tracking data from Kpler and LSEG.
P&I coverage for the Hafnia Nile is provided by Gard, according
to S&P Global data.
S&P Global's International Ships Register lists the Ceres I as
being owned by Hong Kong-registered single-ship entity Ceres
Shipping and managed and operated by Shanghai Prosperity Ship
Management since 2019.
The data provider lists the tanker's class society as being unknown
since it left the Korean Register in 2020 and its P&I provider
is also listed as unknown.
Pressure group United Against a Nuclear Iran has previously accused
the VLCC of carrying sanctioned Iranian crude oil.
Calls to Shanghai Prosperity Ship Management office in Shanghai
went unanswered early of Friday afternoon.
The company manages the Ceres I and the 106,000-dwt tanker Themis
(built 2002).
