Singapore-registered container ship collides with Chinese vessel off Guangzhou

The crash happened on 25 October around 8 p.m. Singapore time.

Singapore’s Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) says it received word on 26 October of a collision in waters off Guangzhou, China, between the Singapore-flagged container ship WAN HAI A17 and the China-registered vessel HAI LI 5.

The crash happened on 25 October around 8 p.m. Singapore time.

According to information provided by Wan Hai Lines, WAN HAI A17 remains in stable condition with no injuries reported amongst its 23 crew members. No pollution has been reported.

However, it was reported that HAI LI 5 had sunk. The Chinese authorities are conducting search and rescue operations, with two of the 15 crew members still unaccounted for.

The WAN HAI A17 is being held in port as Chinese authorities investigate. MPA says it is in contact with both Wan Hai Lines and Chinese officials and will also conduct its own investigation.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
