On July 8, the “Mayuree Naree” hit the fishing boat “Divnine” off the Kochi coast, and sailed away in a hit and run case. The coastal police have begun an inquiry to trace the vessel after the incident about 20 nautical miles south-east of Munambam harbor which took place around 12.30 a.m. when the fishing boat, owned by Antoniyar Picha of Thiruvananthapuram, was hit by the vessel. Two fishermen, aged, 50 and 56, of Pozhiyur in Thiruvananthapuram, who were part of the five-member crew, sustained injuries. The fishermen could not see the ship heading towards them due to the heavy rain and wind at that time. All of a sudden, the other ship emerged out of the waves from behind and hit the boat, throwing two people into the sea.

“LUMOSO RAYA” – IMO:9277204 – Flag: Indonesia – Type: Bulk Carrier
On July 9, an underwater gas pipeline, operated by the PT CNOOC Indonesia, broke up near Pulau Panjang Island in the Banten Province, northwest of Jakarta, and caused a major gas leak, which formed a big bubble on the surface. Navigation near the gas leak site was restricted. In the morning of July 10, the restrictions were still valid, but it was not clear if gas escape was stopped. Authorities suspected that the pipeline was ripped up by an anchor of one of the ships anchored nearby. The main suspect was the coal loaded “Lumoso Raya” which was moored in the closest position to the ruptured pipeline. An investigation was under way.
