"Kaptaan Piye tha kya??". This what you will say on JAG LAADKI Collision

Indian shipping company Great Eastern owned vessel JAG LAADKI banged probably 3 vessels while approaching D Anchorage at FUJAIRAH as per report by nearby vessels.
It all happened on 23rd Feb 2017 when Jag Laadki was approaching Delta anchorage and  touched Al khattiya breaching her 6 stbd ballast tank. Laadki's 2P ballast tank got breaches, they remained embraced for some time abt 10 to 20 mins and when she pulled out and on way to her anchoring again touched Iglc Anka bow. No breach of hull reported by Anka till now.


This happened  in Delta anchorage. Jag ladaki approached at 4-5 kts. Engine steering all fine . He hit LNG Al Khattiya first then came within 4 cables to another vessel then kissed another vessel.

Damage is more on LNG Al Khattiya. Two ballast tanks of LNG carrier Al Khattiya were breached, suffering water ingress, but fortunately there was no reported pollution or explosion. Another vessel IGLC ANKA just got kissing on the bow.

IGLC ANKA had diver down when Jagladaki banged it. Luckily no causality was reported other than property damage.
Watch the animated video below and decide on navigating skills of the vessel Master whose competence is in question.
