Tug involved in salvage operation after barge ran aground

The 'Vision 228' was involved in the salvage operation, after the container barge 'Marco Polo 802', that was scheduled to reach a terminal in Singapore on June 6, 2025, at 10a.m., broke through the floating sea barriers and was touching the rocks off Tanjong Beach in Sentosa on the morning. A portion of the floating security barriers off Sentosa was damaged in the incident, and the Police Coast Guard was assessing the damage in order to carry out the necessary repairs. The Coastguard has also concurrently increased patrols in the vicinity. There were no reports of damage, injuries or pollution, and that navigational safety was not impacted. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA)) mobilized tugs to tow the barge, which remained stable, out to sea again. At 10.45 a.m,the barge had been moved a distance away from the shore. The MPAwas working closely with Sentosa Development Corporation and other agencies to minimise disruption and started investigating the cause of the incident. Another tug, that was stuck in a floating sea barrier, near where the barge had been grounded, was towed away by the 'Vision 228'.
