Oil sheen spotted around fire-damaged Hafnia tanker involved in collision with VLCC

A light sheen of oil has been seen leaking from the engine room of the Hafnia product tanker involved in a collision with a Chinese-controlled VLCC.

The 74,200-dwt Hafnia Nile (built 2017) was severely damaged when it caught fire after the collision on 19 July with the Shanghai Prosperity Ship Management-operated 300,000-dwt Ceres I (built 2001) close to the entrance of the Singapore Strait.
