Earlier on Wednesday, the Marine Traffic tracking service said, citing an eye-witness, that the BW Lesmes tanker carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) had collided with the Burri oil products tanker in the Suez Canal. The collision occurred on the 144 kilometer mark (89 miles) of the canal due to a technical malfunction of the LNG carrier, Adm. Ossama Rabiee, Chairman and Managing Director of the Suez Canal Authority, later stated. As a result, navigation was stopped in the northern part of the canal. It is already the second accident in the canal over the past few weeks. In early August, the Hong Kong-flagged Chinagas Legend LPG tanker, going from Singapore to the United States, collided with the Fahd tugboat, which belongs to the Suez Canal Authority. The tugboat sank, with one crew member dying and the remaining six rescued.
