Easterly-Lime-Galaxy

On Aug 7, 2018, the "Lime Galaxy", en route from Istanbul to Le Havre, was reported as not under command, in position 45 23N, 008 15W. The engine was reportedly decarbonised at 2.20 p.m. The vessel was underway again to its destination, after completing necessary repairs, at 6 p.m.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore said good progress has been made in containing and cleaning up the oil spillage resulting from Wednesday's collision between Hong Kong-flagged chemical tanker Lime Galaxy and the China-flagged container ship Feihe at about 2.7km south of Jurong Island. It said there has been no further spillage of bunker fuel from Feihe. However as a precautionary measure, oil booms and an oil spill response craft have been deployed around the vessel. In total, 10 craft from MPA and oil spill response companies have been deployed as part of the containment and clean up efforts. Source: CNA

In the evening of Jan 29, 2014, the Chinese container m/v "Fei He" was in collision with the chemical tanker "Lime Galaxy" which was underway from Singapore to Anping, about 2,7 miles south of Jurong Island in Singapore. Prior to the incident, MPA's Port Operations Control Centre attempted to alert the two vessels of their converging courses.In the collision a bunker tank of the container ship was ruptured, and some oil spilt. There were no reports of damage to the tanker. Both ships anchored after the collision, and the port authorities laid out oil booms around the container ship. In total, 10 craft from MPA and oil spill response companies have been deployed as part of the containment and clean up efforts. Vessel traffic in the Strait of Singapore and port operations remained unaffected.
