Casualty details
Vessel's anchor chain entangled with the chain of another ship, on Jan 8 or 9, in Yangtze estuary between Chongming island and Taicang. Floating crane and tugs responded, trying to disengage chains and free the ships. China's strict restrictions on pilots activities in a number of ports have led to ships having to anchor in space-restricted anchorages, in dangerously close proximity to each other.
