Two container vessels were damaged after a collision at the outer anchorage of Chattogram Port in Bangladesh, affecting port operations and the movement of cargo in the area.

Initial reports said the incident happened while both vessels were approaching the port before pilot boarding. Due to the close distance between the ships and possible navigation issues, the vessels made contact, resulting in visible structural damage to their hulls. Despite the impact, no injuries among crew members were reported. Authorities also confirmed that there was no oil spill or environmental damage at the time of the incident.

Following the collision, both vessels remained at the anchorage while safety checks and initial inspections were conducted. Port authorities closely monitored the situation to ensure there was no further risk to other vessels operating nearby. After assessment, a controlled operation was carried out to transfer the damaged ships to the jetty using tugboats, allowing proper inspection and preparation for repairs.
