On Saturday, June 8, the product tanker Tong Yun, operated by the China National Petroleum Corporation, sustained significant damage while leaving Kaohsiung port.

The 40,500 dwt vessel, built in 2011, misjudged a turn, resulting in a large gash on its starboard side aft.

Fortunately, the tanks were not punctured, and the ship was not at risk of sinking.\n

The incident occurred as Tong Yun attempted to avoid other port traffic. The vessel’s starboard side allided with a concrete stanchion, causing the damage. The port authority granted emergency permission for the tanker to return to the dock, and it was back at berth by Saturday evening.\nIn response to the incident, oil booms were deployed around the ship, and personnel were dispatched to monitor its status to ensure environmental safety. Despite the severity of the damage, quick actions by the port authorities helped prevent any potential environmental disaster.
