Three people were killed as a result of a collision between two vessels near the Pasir Panjang Terminal in Singapore on Friday, June 12.
The incident occurred at around 09:30 local time when a supply boat collided with a landing craft.
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), the Singapore Police Coast Guard (PCG), and the Singapore Civil Defence Force's Marine Division immediately deployed vessels to the incident site and commenced search and rescue (SAR) operations.
The PCG has since recovered three bodies from the surrounding waters. The MPA said the bodies are believed to be those of the deceased crewmembers of the sunken supply boat.
SAR operations, including dive operations, are ongoing to determine if there are other crewmembers from the supply boat who are still missing.
The MPA added that the landing craft has remained afloat with no reported injuries on board.
The MPA has assured that port operations have not been affected and that navigational broadcasts have been issued advising vessels to keep clear of the incident area.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
