Bulker and Tanker Damaged in Manila Bay

Collision
A tanker and a bulk carrier collided in Manila Bay, Philippines on Wednesday
causing significant damage to both vessels.
The accident occurred at approximately 9:14 p.m. local time and involved the
Panama-flagged tanker Rich Rainbow and the Marshall Islands-flagged bulk
carrier Ivy Alliance.
The manager of the Rich Rainbow, Fuyo Kaiun, confirmed the incident in an
emailed statement.
“The incident caused no injuries or pollution. The Rich Rainbow sustained hull
damage above the water line and remains in a stable condition. A full
assessment will be carried out by Class and the manager is working closely with
the Philippine Coast Guard,” the statement said.

Photos posted by the Philippine Coast Guard shows a large gash of about 10 to
20 meters on the starboard side of the Rich Rainbow. Ivy Alliance sustained
damage to its bow.
Philippines’ Port State Control (PSC) was expected to serve a ‘notice of
detention’ to the two ships.
No injuries or pollution has been reported.
AIS data shows the 49,999 dwt Rich Rainbow had just arrived from Zhuhai,
China at the Manila anchorage. The 55,886 dwt Ivy Alliance was arriving was
Maura Satui, Indonesia, when the accident occurred.
These rules refer to the sound signals that ships and boats should use in
different situations to avoid collision and ensure safety.
Rule 32 defines the terms used in the rules. It defines the word "whistle" as a
sound signal device capable of making the prescribed sounds and conforming to
the technical requirements listed in Annex 3 to this Regulation. It also defines
the terms "short sound" and "long sound."
Rule 33 sets out the equipment for sound signals that ships and boats must
have. A ship that is 12 metres or longer must have a whistle and a bell, and a
ship that is 100 metres or longer must also have a gong whose tone and sound
cannot be confused with the sound of the bell. The whistle, bell, and gong must
comply with the requirements of Appendix III to these regulations. The bell
and/or gong may be replaced by other devices having the same appropriate
sound characteristics, and it must always be possible to sound the prescribed
signals manually. Ships of less than 12 metres in length need not have the
prescribed sounding devices, but if they do not, they must be provided with other
means of making an effective sound signal.
Rule 34 sets out the signals for ships when they are in view of each other.
Paragraph (a) of this rule requires mechanically propelled boats to indicate their
manoeuvres by whistle blowing when manoeuvring as permitted by these rules.
Paragraph (b) allows a ship to accompany the sound signals with light signals
repeated throughout the manoeuvre. Paragraph (c) requires a ship intending to
overtake another ship to indicate its intention by whistle blowing, and the
overtaken ship must confirm its agreement by blowing its whistle. Paragraph (d)
requires a ship to signal immediately by blowing at least five short and frequent
whistles and may be accompanied by a light signal of at least five short and
frequent flashes when it is unable to understand the other vessel's intentions or
action or is in doubt as to whether the other vessel is taking sufficient action to
prevent a collision.
Rule 35 sets out the sound signals to be made in limited visibility, by day or
night. A ship with a mechanical engine sailing relative to the water must make
one continuous sound at intervals of not more than two minutes. A ship with a
mechanical engine under way but stopped and not moving relative to the water
must make two continuous sounds at intervals of not more than two minutes with
an interval of about two seconds between them. A vessel unable to steer or
restricted in her manoeuvring ability, a vessel restricted by her draught, a sailing
vessel, a vessel engaged in fishing and a vessel towing or pushing another
vessel must sound three consecutive sounds at intervals of not more than two
minutes, namely, one long sound followed by two short ones. A ship engaged in
fishing at anchor and a ship with limited manoeuvrability carrying out her work at
anchor must sound the sound prescribed by paragraph (c) instead of the signals
prescribed by paragraphs (a) and (b).
