The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has said in a release that chemical tanker Stolt Commitment and multipurpose general cargo vessel Thorco Cloud collided in the busy traffic line vessel at the eastbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) in the Singapore Strait yesterday on December 16, 2015 about 20.30 hours local time as reported.




The Stolt-Nielsen owned chemical tanker sustained minor damage and is in stable condition however the Thorco Cloud, owned by Thorco Shipping, sank in Indonesian waters 6 nautical miles (11 km) north-west of Batam.


MPA deployed two patrol craft for search and rescue operations, while Singapore’s Police Coast Guard deployed five boats, and five of the 12 crew members onboard the Thorco Cloud were rescued. A sixth was rescued by the chemical tanker, however six crew member remain missing.

Indonesian authorities have also commenced search and rescue operations after been alerted by MPA.
There is no disruption to shipping traffic in the Singapore Strait, and vessels in the vicinity have been asked to report sightings of the missing crew.



The Danish cargo ship Thorco Cloud collided with the chemical tanker Stolt Commitment about eight miles (13 kilometers) off Indonesia's Batam island late Wednesday, port official Gajah Rooseno said.


The collision ripped a large hole below the water line on the cargo ship, causing it to sink, he said.

The tanker, operated by Stolt Tankers, suffered only minor damage.
Rooseno said the cargo ship had 12 crew members from Ukraine and the Philippines and was operated by Copenhagen-based Thorco Shipping.






Thomas Mikkelsen, CEO of Thorco Shipping, said the ship's captain was among those rescued.

He said the vessel was coming from Japan and was en route to western African before crossing to Brazil.

Rooseno said authorities were investigating the cause of the collision, but that early evidence indicated that one of the ships had attempted to take a short cut and violated traffic separation rules.

Colonel Ribut Eko Suyanto, chief of the naval base in Batam, said more than 100 rescuers were deployed on three navy ships and seven rescue boats to search for the missing crew members. The search was halted after nightfall and would be resumed Friday morning, he said.
"We will investigate the possibility that the missing crewmen are trapped under the wreckage," Suyanto said.

He said anti-pollution craft from Singapore were on standby in case of an oil spill.

The cargo ship was carrying about 560 tons of fuel, Rooseno said.
