The Singapore-flagged Hafnia Nile and the Sao Tome- and Principe-flagged Ceres I collided and caught fire about 55km north-east of the Singaporean island of Pedra Branca early on July 19. — Reuters picKUALA LUMPUR, July 30 — Two large oil tankers that collided and caught fire near Singapore earlier this month are afloat and anchored in Malaysian waters, with an investigation into the incident ongoing, Malaysia’s marine department said today.
The Hafnia Nile, a Panamax tanker, was carrying about 300,000 barrels of naphtha destined for Japan, according to ship-tracking data from Kpler and LSEG. Naphtha is a raw material for making petrochemicals. Malaysia’s coast guard initially said the Ceres I, a very large crude carrier supertanker, had fled the location of the incident and was believed to have turned off its tracking system.
He said there was no oil spill detected at the location of the collision, only an oil sheen believed to be from damage to the Hafnia Nile’s bunker tank.
