MOL, COSCO vessels collide

   An MOL containership has collided with a COSCO Container Lines vessel, according to a notice from the Japanese line.
   The collision occurred between the 6,724-TEU MOL Maneuver and the COSCO Zhen He while southeast of Hong Kong at 5:45 p.m. on Feb. 22.
   “None of the crew was injured and no oil leak has been observed,” the line said. “The MOL Maneuver is capable of sailing under its own power. Meanwhile, we are investigating the situation on the other ship, but have not identified any injured persons or oil leakage.”
   The MOL vessel is deployed on the New World Alliance’s JEX service between the Far East and Europe. The ship was under way from Singapore to Yantian.
