Anassa Collides With Anchored Zahab Jahan at Chittagong Port

The Liberian-flagged bulk carrier Anassa collided with the anchored Bangladesh-flagged Zahab Jahan at Chittagong Port’s Alpha Anchorage on 16 August amid strong currents. Anassa, carrying 35,350 tonnes of slag, was manoeuvring to anchor when it struck Zahab Jahan. No injuries, water ingress or pollution were reported, and all 21 crew members aboard both vessels were safe. The vessels were separated and re-anchored, with port operations returning to normal.
