What Crew Members Say About Haian-Opus

On April 1, 2026, a maritime incident occurred at the bustling port of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, when the container ship M/V 'Zeal Lumos' (IMO: 9864241) collided with the 'Haian Opus'. The unexpected allision led to significant container losses and damage to cargo, though thankfully, no injuries or environmental pollution were reported. The 'Zeal Lumos' began its departure at 11:00 a.m. and successfully left the dock by 11:37 a.m. with the help of two tugboats. While navigating through the second turning basin of the port, the ship's stern veered dangerously close to the 'Haian Opus', which was securely docked at Pier 77. Despite continuous warnings broadcasted by the navigation control center, the crew was unable to adjust their course in time, resulting in an allision at approximately 12:03 p.m. The crash caused four containers to plummet into the water, subsequently creating a temporary navigational hazard that prompted port authorities to halt vessel traffic in the vicinity. Emergency response teams rapidly deployed a workboat to retrieve and secure the floating containers near Pier 78. Port operations were able to resume by around 12:30 p.m. once safety measures were confirmed. No casualties or oil spills were reported following the incident. In response, the Kaohsiung Port authorities established vessel access control. The nearby work vessel 'Fengcheng No. 8' was dispatched to help retrieve the lost containers and restore order to the area. Meanwhile, the 'Zeal Lumos' was instructed to return to Pier No. 110 to assist with the ongoing investigation, while the 'Haian Opus' worked to secure all damaged cargo.
