Two ships aground in Batam

The container ship 'Sharaz' and the 'Samudra Sakti' were in collision and ran aground in the Strait of Singapore in Batu Batu Waters near Sambu Island, Batam, Riau Islands, on May 11, 2020, around 2 a.m. Just minutes earlier, Singapore’s port operations control centre had informed both ships that there was a risk of grounding, but the warning apparently went unheard. The ships had altered their courses to avoid a tug when the grounding happened. The Directorate General of Sea Transportation and the Ministry of Transportation, mobilized two patrol boats, the KN 'Kalimashada - P 115' and KN 'P 112 - Sarotama' to the scene after being notified by the Batam VTS, which arrived at 04.45 a.m. They also coordinated with the VTS Batam, KSOP Tanjung Balai Karimun and Batam Special KSOP. They were joined by the 'RB 209 - Tanjungpinang', 'RIB 03 - Batam', 'KN. Kalimasada', 'KN. Sarotama', 'KNP 366', 'KNP 376', 'KNP 330' and 'Palmedis'. The 'Sharaz' had sailed from Port Klang on May 10 at 8.50 a.m. bound to Yangshan. She got stuck with a list of 4° to portside near the Batu Stop beacon in position 01°11'25"N-103°52'854"E. The 'Samudra Sakti' was stuck in position 01°11'097 "N-103°52'905"E. She had sailed from Belawan on May 9 at 11.40 a.m. and was bound to Bayah, ETA May 14. The 'Samudra Sakti I' was refloated on May 11 at 4 p.m. and taken to the Batam Anchorage where she was moored. The containership remained aground, visibly dentead amidships where she was struck by the bulkcarrier. The hull showed vertical cracks on both sides throughout the freeboard and below the waterline.
