Two container vessels operated by Ocean Network Express (ONE) and Maersk collided in Hong Kong's port while maneuvering. ONE Susannah, operated by ONE, struck Maersk Kalamata, a Maersk-operated vessel, on the starboard side during docking maneuvers. The collision caused structural damage to both vessels.


ONE Susannah is a container vessel built in 2019 with a capacity of 14,052 TEU and a length of 364 meters. Maersk Kalamata was built in 2008, has a capacity of 8,400 TEU, and measures 335 meters in length. Following the collision, both vessels were detained in port for inspection and damage assessment procedures were initiated.
