Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Buena-Reina

Late at night on July 7, 2017, a notable maritime incident occurred at Ulsan's outer anchorage when the LPG tanker Buena Reina collided with the product tanker Keun Sul 3. The collision transpired as the vessels navigated in opposite directions; the Keun Sul 3 was en route to Ulsan while the Buena Reina was departing the port. The impact occurred when the Korean-flagged Keun Sul 3 made contact with the portside stern of the Buena Reina, resulting in notable damages to both vessels. Following the collision, the Keun Sul 3 sustained damage to its foreship and successfully anchored in Ulsan the following morning, July 8. Meanwhile, the Buena Reina dropped anchor close to the site of the incident. Unfortunately, a Filipino crew member aboard the Buena Reina suffered injuries and required medical attention. Preliminary investigations suggest that the mishap was primarily due to negligence on the part of both vessels’ navigating watches.
