Cosco-Development

On the morning of May 20, 2025, the fishing vessel 'Pacific Memory II' was in collision with the 'Cosco Development', en route from Savannah to Laem Chabang, in the Singapore Strait, about17 nautical miles from Pedra Branca Island, The 'Pacific Memory II' lost stability after the impact, causing the vessel to nearly capsize. There was confusion on the fishing vessel as several crew members were asleep at the time of the collision, while others were thrown into the water. The bulk carrier 'Andros Spirit '(IMO: 9592537) was able to rescue 30 crew members from the vessel. The Indonesian authorities transferred the survivors to an Indonesian rescue vessel.

The 'Cosco Development', en route from Savannah to Laem Chabang, contaced the MRCC in Singapore on May 20, 2025, at about 7.20 a.m. that the Indonesian-flagged fishing vessel 'Facific Memory II' had capsized about 27 kimometres northeast of Pedra Branca, within Singapore's maritime SAR region. The MRCC in Singapore coordinated the response and issued navigational broadcasts for vessels in the area to assist. It also alerted Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency and Malaysia's MRCC. Singapore directed the bulk carrier 'Andros Spirit' (IMO: 9592537), en route from Constanta to Machong, to rescue the 30 people in the water. The vessel arrived at the scene shortly after, and the castaways were safely recovered and disembarked at Batam.

The "COSCO Development" allided with the Agua Clara Lock wall on July 10, 2019, while transiting the Panama Canal enroute from Balboa to Colon. The lock’s integrity wasn’t compromised, a stone staircase was the only construction which sustained damages. The ship did not sustain damages and after a brief stop at the lock resumed the canal transit and reached Colon in the afternoon of July 10.
