Fremantle Ports is a Western Australian Government trading enterprise that strategically manages... At 0615 this morning the Maersk Shekou collided with the STS Leeuwin whilst inbound to the port. The Leeuwin was dismasted; however, the hull appears to have not been breached. The two night watch crew members onboard the Leeuwin at the time sustained non-life threatening injuries and have been taken to hospital for observation. The cause of the incident is not known at this stage and a full investigation by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) and Fremantle Ports will follow. Fremantle Ports will fully assist and cooperate with this investigation. The bow of the 332m, Shekou struck the Leeuwin, and the stern of the vessel caused some damage to A Berth and the WA Maritime Museum roof. Fremantle Ports has stringent operational parameters in place for the movement of ships and in this case the Shekou had two pilots on board and was being accompanied to the berth by four tugs. We are in close contact with the Leeuwin Ocean Adventure Foundation are providing them every support. Public access is restricted to A Berth and the Maritime Museum whilst we undertake inspections. Gage Roads Brew Co is unaffected and is trading as usual. The poor old girl is going to take some work to sort this out, good to hear no one was seriously injured or worse, some pics and more in ABC link… [Two men injured after STS Leeuwin is hit by large shipping container at Fremantle Port - ABC News](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-30/several-injured-in-leeuwin-accident-fremantle-port/104289764) ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/gcaptain_maritime_forum/original/3X/f/1/f1c6700ae40cdd4398e2bdab831a959a91e11718.jpeg) ![1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/gcaptain_maritime_forum/original/3X/0/8/087d21696dced50796b8f384c2bce8a15b5f9f2e.jpeg) ![2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/gcaptain_maritime_forum/original/3X/e/3/e356ab6d9e43b84d3e2dbc2b147b716f6b8ef2a6.jpeg) ![3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/gcaptain_maritime_forum/original/3X/6/9/69f0fe6f6dab993d56eeb4ca1335add4afead930.jpeg) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.gcaptain.com/t/sts-leeuwin-hit-by-maersk-shekou-in-fremantle-port/70543)._
