A Marshall Island-registered LNG carrier Adam LNG was clipped by a bulk carrier OS 35 while the latter was maneuvering to exit the Bay of Gibraltar on Monday, 29 August.

Following the collision, the Tuvalu-registered bulk carrier started taking on water amidships and was beached to avoid sinking. The ship is loaded with 183 tonnes of heavy fuel oil, 250 tonnes of diesel and 27 tonnes of lube oil. 0S 35, carrying steel rebars, was leaving Gibraltar to head to Vlissengen in the Netherlands at the time of the incident, according to the Gibraltar Port Authority (GPA).
