A supply boat sank after it collided with a landing craft of Singapore’s Pasir Panjang Terminal.

The accident happened at around 9:30am local time on 12 June according to the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) with craft from the MPA, Police Coast Guard (PCG), and SCDF Marine Division responding for search and rescue operations.

MPA said that the Police Coast Guard recovered three bodies believed to be deceased crew members of the supply boat. “Search and rescue operations, including diving operations, are ongoing to determine if there are other crew members from the supply boat missing,” the port authority said.

The landing craft was reported to be stable following the collision with no injuries to its crew.

Pasir Panjang Terminal is one of Singapore’s main container terminals and MPA said port operations were unaffected with navigational broadcasts for vessels to stay clear of the incident area.
