Cargo of Xing Peng Da lost after wreck allision

The lighter vessel "Brishti" capsized and sank with 950 tonnes of cement clinker which had been transferred from the "Xing Peng Da" in the Bay of Bengal near Patenga beach in Chittagong on June 12, 2014, at 9 a.m. following a collision with a sunken ship. All 13 crew of the vessel were rescued by a speedboat and members of another ship anchored nearby soon after the accident. The "Brishti" sank in the bay nearthe Jaliapara coast of Patenga while it was underway to a private jetty on the river Karnaphuli. The "Brishti" was returning to the jetty of Diamond Cement Limited after uploading clinker from the "Xing Peng Da" at the outer anchorage of Chittagong Port, after cracks developed on its bottom. The lighter had hit parts of the "Rita" which sank several years ago. Diamond Cement Limited imported the raw material for making cement. Foreign vessels bound for Chittagong Port do not cross the spot where the "Rita" has remained sunken for years.
