Today another special edition of the Ship of the Day. This morning containership Jork Ranger (IMO: 9322542, Port of Registry: Limassol, Cyprus), with destination Rotterdam, came into collision with the tanker Mindoro (IMO: 9389095, Port of Registry: Piraeus, Greece), with destination Scheveningen Anchorage. The Mindoro suffered a breach on her portside of 6 by 5 meters at the waterline. The ship is leaking her cargo of jet fuel. Since jet fuel vaporises very quickly there will most probably be no large pollution. There are no casualties on both vessels. 
Vessel Jork Ranger is able to continue to Rotterdam where she will most probably enter later this morning.
