The Sanchi, Panamanian ship, en route from Iran to South Korea collides with Hong Kong freighter carrying 136,000 tonnes of oil. Payback for earlier collisions? Escalation?
“In this day and age with anticollision systems, radar, with ship identification systems, two enormous ships like this should not collide,” oceanography expert Dr Simon Boxall, of the University of Southampton, told ABC Radio.
“Particularly seeing as they weren’t in a narrow channel, there wasn’t restricted navigation, there was no excuse for this accident to occur.”
