Now thats a collision.................Zakinthos island, Greece. Vessel hit the island during navigational error at night.
Malacca strait, Malaysia/Singapore roads. ANL Indonesia collided with a Singapore naval ship, which broke in two after the collision. 4 female crewmembers of the RSS Courageous died. 2 officers of the naval ship were justiced for improper navigation however the Singapore authorities claimed against the Dutch shipowner full responsibility of the collision. Meanwhile, the ANL Indonesia has been renamed into Maersk Darwin and operating for Maersk Sealand.

a 'spurt being a drip under pressure'
as bumps go..glad it wasn't my car..all the bumps on that are not cause d by mechaincal failure at a crucial time in trying to get a naval vessel along side..merely by over anxious women with shopping trollies.
In fairness the bump is more cosmectic than anything else...and it hasn't been the first time..sure we all ahve little accidents...and gremlins can lead to some of the worts..lesson to be learned..never put blind faith in the machinery you work with. It was built by humans an so is very fallible.Last edited by hptmurphy; 28 August 2006, 22:47.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safeComment

Fair wear and tear. When you think of the conditions that they some times work in, or the long times at sea, well, what's a bump or two!Originally posted by hptmurphy View Post
Eithne had a large bump on her rear quarter during her harbour trails before hand over to the Naval Service, which resulted in a large section being replaced. A merchant navy captain was 'driving' that day. Whats the big deal? They are working ships after all!Last edited by Test Pilot; 2 October 2007, 20:59.Comment
