4,000 Cars Go Down With Ship After Collision

A ship carrying 4,000 cars sank after colliding with an oil tanker south of Singapore, authorities said. The four Korean and 16 Filipino crew members on car carrier MV Hyundai No. 105 were rescued, Maritime and Port Authority spokeswoman Theresa Pong said.

There was no immediate leak from the Panama-registered tanker MT Kaminesan, despite some damage, she said. The tanker, carrying 279,949 tons of crude oil, was being towed into Singapore’s port for damage assessment. Its six Japanese and 20 Filipino crew members remained on the vessel, Pong said.
