We have learned of an incident involving a collision between the vessels SAFMARINE NOKWANDA and TIANJIN, while berthing at Busan Container Terminal.
SAFMARINE NOKWANDA, IMO 9294393, is a Hong Kong flag, 2005 built, 50,624gt fully cellular containership, which was technically underway. She has a 5,057 TEU nominal capacity and is owned by Maersk Line A/S (Safmarine A/S). Following the collision, despite sustaining damages including a breached bow, the vessel continued her voyage, arriving at Shanghai today, 4th March 2019.
TIANJIN, IMO 9398462, is a Liberia flag, 2010 built, 114,044gt fully cellular containership, owned by ZIM. At the time of the collision, the vessel was moored. As a result of being struck by SAFMARINE NOKWANDA, TIANJIN suffered structural damage to her stern, as well as incurring serious cargo damages, with a number of containers crushed and collapsed. Notwithstanding, TIANJIN set sail late last night, 3rd March 2019, bound for Balboa, Panama.
