Working Conditions Aboard the Dream-Diva

An investigation has been launched to determine the circumstances surrounding a maritime incident involving the Chinese freighter 'Boyun 018,' which sank after colliding with another vessel on March 2, 2012. Reports from odin.tc suggest that the Panama-flagged car carrier possibly involved in this tragic event is the 'Dream Diva.' At the time of the collision, the 'Dream Diva' was stationed at coordinates 22° 26' N, 113° 46' E, approximately 1.3 nautical miles northwest of Niu Lijiao, within the Pearl River Delta. The collision occurred around 2100 local time, just off the coast of Zhuhai, where heavy fog has been reported. The 'Boyun 018' was struck by the unidentified vessel, leading to its sinking. While two crew members were successfully rescued, tragically, eight others remain unaccounted for. This incident raises serious questions about navigation safety and protocols in foggy conditions in one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.
