At around 10:40 p.m. on April 25, authorities received information that a Panamanian container ship and a Hong Kong (China) cargo ship were traveling on the Long Tau River (about 200m from the Rach Don junction) when they suddenly collided. The incident did not cause any casualties or damage to goods, but both ships were damaged, the bows were deformed, and oil spilled on the river.

Anyone have the AIS track(s)?
I have spent a lot of time in Busan and the KMTC ships always seemed to be skilled ship-handlers. Especially the container feeder vessels docking, it was quite impressive, like a Lambo e-braking into a parallel parking spot.
Maybe this vessel was KMTC but foreign crewed…
Ausmariner has the rundown in the other thread: Ouch!
