The Tanzania-registered container vessel Golden Star 1 sank approximately 6km off the coast of Batam (an Indonesian island near Singapore) on Friday night after taking on water, with all nine crew members safely rescued by Indonesian authorities. Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) confirmed the incident occurred at around 10:30pm local time and said vessel traffic in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore remains unaffected, with no reports of oil pollution in Singapore waters. The MPA is issuing navigational broadcasts urging ships in the area to exercise caution and report any containers spotted adrift.
