Collision in Strait of Singapore While passing the Strait of Singapore, the "Beks Halil" was in collision with a smaller bulkcarrier which was suddenly veering across its course. Video footage shows the smaller vessel veering to port and across the course of the "Beks Halil" which was underway from Haldia to Navlakhi at that time. The smaller cargo vessel was hit on port side in the aft after it was unable to stop or alter course for the larger ship. The Singapore Coast Guard was called to the incident but there were no reports of any injuries.
