On March 17, 2025, at approximately 5 a.m. WITA, a serious maritime incident occurred in Surabaya when the tanker 'Marianna Glory' crashed into the unloaded bulk carrier 'AOM Julia' (IMO: 9544695). The collision took place while the 'Marianna Glory' was en route to Makassar, navigating through the coordinates S 01° 19.965' N 111° 1.60' E. The impact struck the starboard side of the 'AOM Julia,' resulting in significant damage, including a breach of several meters in the hull near cargo hold no. 4. Meanwhile, the 'Marianna Glory' itself sustained considerable deformations at the bow and damage to the port side foreship. At the time of the incident, the 'Marianna Glory' had just completed a Ship-to-Ship (STS) operation and was carrying 8,000 metric tons of LPG. The collision was reportedly exacerbated by unfavorable weather conditions as the tanker approached the 'AOM Julia,' which was preparing to anchor in Zone A of Balikpapan. In response to the situation, the patrol vessel 'KNP 349' was dispatched to the site under the leadership of the Head of Patrol Supervision and Investigation (PSC). Initial assessments were performed to evaluate the risk of marine pollution, but preliminary investigations confirmed that there were no signs of contamination in the surrounding waters. As of March 19, 2025, the 'Marianna Glory' was securely moored at position 01° 20' N 117° 02' E, ensuring the safety of its cargo and crew.
