A UK accident report has blamed a confusing radio conversation and a tired master for a collision between a tanker and a bulker in the English Channel last year.
Valles Steamship's 48,600-dwt MR Seafrontier (built 2011) and Minsheng Financial Leasing's 75,800-dwt Huayang Endeavour (built 2011) clashed in the early hours of 1 July in the Dover Strait.
Both were damaged in the collision but were able to proceed to nearby ports for damage assessment.
