According to foreign media reports, at around 4:40 a.m. on February 11, two container ships collided in the Dragon Head River in Ho Chi Minh City, causing serious damage to the ships and threatening serious delays to the shipping schedule.
The vessels involved in the accident were WAN HAI 288 and RESURGENCE. At the time of the incident, "RESURGENCE" was traveling upstream to Ho Chi Minh and "WAN HAI 288" was traveling downstream for the voyage from Ho Chi Minh to Kaohsiung.
The container vessel in question is WAN HAI 288, known as "Yuanchun", IMO: 9871359, built in 2021, with a capacity of 2038 TEU and flying the Singapore flag. It is currently part of Wanhai's Japan-Vietnam JSV service and is on voyage N019. The vessel is involved in calls to ports in Taipei, Kaohsiung and Taichung, China.
During the incident, the bow of RESURGENCE struck the port side of WAN HAI 288, causing serious damage to the port side cargo deck area of WAN HAI 288. The vessel's port side cargo deck area was severely damaged and several containers were damaged, leaving the vessel stranded on the riverbank after the collision. "After resuming navigation, the RESURGENCE moored at the Ho Chi Minh Container Terminal at around 0930 hours with the assistance of several tugs.

Judging from the vessel's trajectory, they should have passed on the port side, but RESURGENCE suddenly made a sharp turn from the port side and hit the port forepart of WAN HAI 288.
This vessel, WAN HAI 288, had a collision shortly after delivery in 2021, and was sent to the shipyard for repairs after her bow was severely damaged. In addition, another vessel, WAN HAI 272, was also involved in a collision on Jan. 28th, also with damage to the port side, and the vessel ran aground.
