The accident occurred in the Vietnamese port of Ho Chi Minh.

The destroyer of the Japan Self-Defense Forces Hamayuki bumped the Cambodian-owned dry cargo ship Masan.

Maritime Bulletin-Sovfracht reports the harmed vessel is registered at the port of Nakhodka, was built in 1977 and sails under flag of Cambodia. Its operator is Erico Shipping Co., Ltd., Nakhodka.

The Japanese destroyer that came to the port of Ho Chi Minh with a visit didn’t get hurt. The Russian dry cargo ship got nothing worse but a battered flagpole and some scratches.

Japan is strongly affected by the second accident with its MSDF ships for the last two weeks – on February 19 another Japanese destroyer Atago wrecked a fishing boat on its way from maneuvers back to Yokosuka.
