Reports have been received that Singapore flag vessel PIYA BHUM (11762gt built 1985) collided with a ro/ro vessel in the Malacca Strait last week.
Salvage services are currently being rendered to the vessel on an LOF 2000 salvage contract by Smit Singapore Pte Ltd
The container vessel operates between Singapore and Surabaya although it is likely that she also has transhipment cargo for other ports on board. As of yesterday, the vessel was reported to be aground.
It is likely that a salvage claim will be made against the owners/insurers of the cargo on board this vessel. It is also possible that general average will be declared.
