Summary

On October 18, 2026, the Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier Aquacharm collided with wharf No. 10 at Hoa Phat's Dung Quat port pier in central Vietnam. The vessel's bow struck the structure during docking procedures, leaving the pier damaged. While the ship did not sink, a Vietnamese court has ordered its detention to ensure compensation for the facility's repair. Authorities are investigating the incident, with preliminary reports suggesting a potential communication breakdown that affected the vessel's velocity. The ship remains anchored in port waters as legal proceedings continue.
