Read Authentic Ratings for the Cosco-Development

In a distressing incident on the morning of May 20, 2025, the fishing vessel 'Pacific Memory II' encountered a collision with the bulk carrier 'Cosco Development', which was navigating from Savannah to Laem Chabang in the Singapore Strait, approximately 17 nautical miles from Pedra Branca Island. The impact led to a severe loss of stability for the 'Pacific Memory II', putting the vessel perilously close to capsizing. At the time of the collision, many of the crew members aboard the fishing vessel were asleep, causing chaos as others were thrown into the water. Fortunately, the bulk carrier 'Andros Spirit' (IMO: 9592537) responded promptly to the emergency, successfully rescuing 30 crew members from the stricken vessel. After the rescue operation, the Indonesian authorities facilitated the transfer of the survivors to an Indonesian rescue vessel, ensuring their safe return.

On May 20, 2025, the container ship 'Cosco Development', which was on its journey from Savannah to Laem Chabang, reported a distressing situation to the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) in Singapore. At approximately 7:20 a.m., the crew informed the MRCC that the Indonesian-flagged fishing vessel 'Facific Memory II' had capsized, roughly 27 kilometers northeast of Pedra Branca, falling within Singapore's maritime search and rescue jurisdiction. In swift action, the MRCC coordinated a robust response, issuing navigational alerts to vessels nearby to aid in the rescue operation. The agency also notified Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency and Malaysia's MRCC to provide further assistance. Stepping up to the challenge, Singapore directed the bulk carrier 'Andros Spirit' (IMO: 9592537), which was making its way from Constanta to Machong, to the rescue site. The vessel reached the area shortly thereafter, successfully retrieving all 30 individuals from the water. They were then safely transported and disembarked at Batam, marking a successful mission and showcasing the effective collaboration in maritime safety efforts.

On July 10, 2019, the container ship 'COSCO Development' encountered a minor incident while navigating through the Agua Clara Lock of the Panama Canal. While making its way from Balboa to Colon, the vessel allided with the lock wall. Fortunately, the structure of the lock remained intact, with only a stone staircase showing signs of damage. Remarkably, the COSCO Development itself suffered no harm and after a brief halt to assess the situation, it continued its journey, successfully arriving in Colon by the afternoon of the same day.
