Holly-Explorer Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On the afternoon of May 21, 2021, a fuel spill occurred at Boshnyakovo Anchorage on the west coast of Central Sakhalin when a lighter collided with the moored bulk carrier 'Xiangsheng Harmony'. The incident transpired as the lighter was maneuvering to dock on the port side of the vessel. The collision resulted in a breach of the bulk carrier's hull in the fuel tank zone located above the waterline, leading to an immediate release of fuel into the water. In response to the spill, containment booms were deployed around the ship, and anti-pollution measures commenced promptly. At the time, the 'Xiangsheng Harmony' was preparing to load a cargo of coal at the anchorage using lighters.
