SINGAPORE (The Straits Times) - A Malaysian government vessel, Polaris, has collided with a Greek vessel in Singapore territorial waters off Tuas.
In a statement, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said that the collision happened at 2.28pm on Saturday (Feb 9).
"There was a collision between Greece-registered bulk carrier Pireas and Malaysia vessel Polaris in Singapore territorial waters within Singapore Port Limits off Tuas," it said.
Pireas was on its way from Singapore to its next port of call at Tanjung Pelapas, Malaysia, when the collision took place.
"MPA is deeply concerned that the presence of unauthorised vessels in Singapore port limits can cause confusion for the international shipping community and threaten navigational safety in our waters," the statement added.
MPA is investigating the incident.
