NYK mega container ship ONE BLUE JAY struck Turkish tanker GUNECE while proceeding to container terminal berth in Perama port, Piraeus, Greece, at around 1110 UTC Sep 26, on arrival from Singapore via Suez. One crew of tanker was injured, hospitalized. Tanker reportedly is badly damaged, there are some 5-6 tugs on the site, attempting to prevent tanker sinking. No other details available at the moment, probably situation isn’t so dramatic. ONE BLUE JAY was berthed at around 1140 UTC.
Judging from track, container ship wasn’t stopped or turned in time, moved on and struck berthed tanker.
