Narrative

On 30 September 2016, Hanjin New York and MSC Claudia were anchored in the Eastern Bunkering A area near Singapore Anchorage, off Changi Naval Base. The cited Splash 247 report, quoting a Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore spokesperson, stated that Hanjin New York dragged anchor before striking the bow of MSC Claudia.

The collision caused ten containers from Hanjin New York to fall onto MSC Claudia’s bow and another container to fall into the sea. The report stated that both vessels sustained minor damage. It did not quantify the damage, identify the cause of the anchor drag, or describe the response to the container that entered the sea.

No pollution or crew injuries had been reported when the article was published. It did not separately establish fatalities or missing persons. No formal investigation findings are included in the available source, so the reasons for the anchor drag and the complete operational and environmental consequences remain unresolved.
