Video captures the moment a 229-meter bulk carrier strikes a Chinese fishing vessel; authorities have yet to confirm any casualties.
A collision involving a large bulk carrier and a Chinese fishing boat was reported on Sunday, September 20, 2026, near the Singapore Strait, one of the busiest maritime routes in the world.
The accident involved the First Margaux, a bulk carrier flying the flag of Panama, and the Lu Qing Yuan Yu 108, a fishing boat registered in China. A video taken aboard the smaller vessel shows the moment the bulk carrier’s bow approaches and hits its side.

In the footage, the size difference between the ships is striking. The First Margaux is approximately 229 meters long, 32 meters wide, and has a capacity of over 82,000 tons, while the Chinese fishing boat measures about 49 meters in length and ten meters in width.
During the collision, waves flood the deck of the Lu Qing Yuan Yu 108, making it difficult for the crew to move around. Some crew members are seen trying to hold on as the vessel rocks. The video quickly spread across social media and was shared by maritime transport-related pages.
Built in 2014, the fishing vessel has a gross tonnage of 496 tons. The First Margaux, on the other hand, reportedly was built in 2023 and was en route to Singapore when the incident occurred.
So far, there has been no official confirmation regarding fatalities, injuries, or missing persons. It has also not been confirmed whether the fishing vessel sank or managed to stay afloat after the impact.
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore has yet to issue a detailed statement about the episode. The causes of the collision and the responsibility of each vessel remain unknown and will need to be determined through navigation records, tracking data, and crew testimonies.
