In the early hours of February 9, 2019, at approximately 2 a.m., the barge 'Huan Bo Haiyou 6' was involved in an allision with the container ship 'Silvia' at the FCIC container terminal located in Tianjin. The coordinates of the incident were 38°59'17" N and 117°43'48" E. High winds at the time were identified as the contributing factor behind the mishap. While the 'Silvia' was securely berthed at Terminal G36 and did not sustain significant damage—only minor scratches—the barge suffered damages to its hand rails and accommodation area after colliding with the container ship's starboard quarter. Following the incident, the 'Silvia' departed from Tianjin at 11 p.m. on the same day, setting a course for Qingdao, where it successfully arrived on February 10.
