GAS ROMAN - SPRINGBOK - HORSBURGH LIGHTHOUSE - SINGAPORE - Fortunes de Mer (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
The LPG carrier Gas Roman had collided bow on 90 degrees into the portside of the No 4 cargo hold of the Springbok just feet away from the superstructure on 27 Feb 03 at 0130 hrs. It was an exact 90 degrees T – shape. On receiving this news the 3000 hp salvage tug Salvirile was immediately despatched to the location about 16 nm NE of the Horsburgh Lighthouse. Semco and Smit were the only salvors that responded to this incident with each salvor having a salvage tug and a team of salvage personnel at site. On Sunday (9 March) two tugs succeeded in disconnecting the LPG carrier ‘Gas Roman’ and the general cargo vessel ‘Springbok’ from each other east of Pulau Binting. Currently both vessels are safely afloat. The ‘Gas Roman’ is being redelivered to the owner and the awarded LOF 2000 contract has been terminated.
