Not again SN Greg Wright. It seems that large vessel pilots may becoming callous to the fact that other vessels are on the waters.
In our nation, generally long distance truckers are courteous and defer to other drivers.
On the other hand, large SUV, large pickup truck, and rental truck drivers tend to be less courteous all too often.
Hopefully there will be serious consequences fro pilots who crash into other ships.
"Five crew members of a Dominican-registered dredger were missing after a collision with an Indonesian-registered tanker in Singapore’s territorial waters on Wednesday, Singapore’s Marine Port Authority (MPA) said.
The collision involved the Dominican-flagged dredger JBB DE RONG 19 and the Indonesian-flagged tanker Kartika Segara and occurred at 12:40 a.m. (Singapore time) on Wednesday, Sept. 13 in the westbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) in the Singapore Strait.
Seven of the twelve crew members aboard the dredger were rescued and sent to Singapore for medical treatment. "
