20 Jul 2024 / Singapore
On 19 July 2024 at about 6.15am, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) was alerted to a fire onboard both a Singapore-flagged tanker, Hafnia Nile, and a São Tomé and Príncipe-flagged tanker, Ceres I, about 55km northeast of Pedra Branca within Singapore’s Maritime Search and Rescue Region.
MPA has requested passing vessels to assist in the search and rescue of the crew. A Republic of Singapore Navy ship, RSS Supreme, which is in vicinity of the incident is providing assistance. Currently, a Republic of Singapore Air Force helicopter has also been despatched and is assisting with evacuating the crew.
UPDATE:
There were a total of 22 crew on onboard Hafnia Nile and 40 crew onboard Ceres I. All the crew are accounted for. There were no Singaporeans onboard.
The Republic of Singapore Navy Formidable-class frigate, RSS Supreme, picked up 16 crew from Hafnia Nile. Six crew who were in Hafnia Nile’s life raft were picked up by a Malaysian government vessel and transferred to RSS Supreme. RSS Supreme is en route back to Singapore with all 22 crew from Hafnia Nile. All Hafnia Nile crew are receiving medical attention on board RSS Supreme.
A Singapore-flagged supply vessel, Dolphin 1, which was in the vicinity of the incident, picked up 14 crew from Ceres I of which two were evacuated by a Republic of Singapore Air Force helicopter and are currently receiving medical attention at Singapore General Hospital. The remaining 26 Ceres I crew are currently conducting fire-fighting operations onboard.
Salvage and fire-fighting assets have been arranged by both vessel owners to support the fire-fighting efforts and subsequent towage of the vessels to safety. Navigational traffic is not affected.
