Collision in the English Channel
In the early morning hours of May 11, 2014, the "Orange Island" was in collision with the tanker "Sten Moster", which had left the port of Antwerp the previous day, in the middle of the English Channel. The Sten Moster suffered a three by five meter hole at port side above the water line. The Portland Coastguards diverted the ship to Rotterdam for repairs. By May 12 it was on anchorage 5 off the coast. The "Orange Island" had only minor damage and was allowed to continue its passage from antwerp to New London. Both vessels were travelling in the same direction along the Channel, and the collision happened as one of the vessels tried to overtake the other.
