SINGAPORE – An oil tanker and a dredger have collided in Singapore waters, capsizing the dredger and leaving five of its crew missing.
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore said Wednesday morning the dredger was partially submerged after the collision. It said seven of the dredger's crew members were rescued by the police coast guard and five were unaccounted for.
