On July 16, a dual-fuel LNG bulker allided with an anchored ship off the busy Hay Point terminal in northeastern Australia, causing extensive damage. According to multiple social media accounts, the LNG-capable bulker HL Eco was preparing to anchor off Hay Point when she suffered a propulsion casualty. As she drifted, her port side struck the bow of the anchored bulker YM Serenity at low speed. As HL Eco slid past, the YM Serenity's prow struck her port side LNG fuel tank. The YM Serenity's starboard side anchor lodged in HL Eco's port side, and the still-moving HL Eco dragged on the anchor chain as she drifted away.
