The maritime community has been alerted after the vessel 'Singapore Bridge' experienced significant issues, leaving it disabled and drifting in the Bay of Bengal since November 7, 2021.

The Singapore Bridge was en route from Port Klang to Mumbai, originally scheduled to arrive on November 5, with its estimated time of arrival now postponed to November 13. This incident raises concerns about maritime safety and operational challenges in crucial shipping lanes.

On May 13, 2021, the vessel 'Singapore Bridge' encountered a serious medical emergency during its passage from Port Klang to Shenzhen in the South China Sea.
