A video has been released showing a collision between a giant tanker and a small cargo ship that seems to get caught up.
In the straits of Singapore the two ships were passing the stretch of water when the smaller ship didn’t keep enough distance and thus collided. The waters they were passing through measuring 65 miles long with a width of 9 miles lies between the Strait of Malacca which is west and the South China Sea situated east.
Passengers and workers on other cargo ships captured video footage of the incident and it is seen that the larger ship then seems to be shoving the smaller boat of its course as it gets too close and blocks the way. The horn is being beeped aggressively and the larger ships captain seems outraged. Both boats then try to maneuver and get back into a safe distance after the incident.
Being one of the world’s busiest ports it’s thankful that not more damage was done and it was just a collision. The boats suffered damage but thankfully no one was injured.
