The Maersk Shekou, which collided with the tall ship STS Leeuwin while entering Fremantle port on Friday, is undergoing repairs before proceeding to Port Klang, Freemantle Ports told WorldCargo News in an update.

“The container ship Maersk Shekou is currently undergoing temporary repairs before it can depart Fremantle but was approved to commence loading and unloading from Friday afternoon at North Quay. The ship’s anticipated departure for Port Klang is yet to be determined and will require prior approval from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) and Fremantle Ports. The container ship was the subject of an underwater hull inspection,” the port said on Monday.

The Maersk Shekou is a 332.74-meter-long container vessel sailing under the flag of Singapore. It was built in 2010.

“Fremantle Ports is today working with the Leeuwin Ocean Adventure Foundation to provide safe access to the sail training ship Leeuwin, so damaged spars and rigging can be removed or secured before the ship can be moved,” the port added.

The Leeuwin, built in 1986 and 55 meters long, is Australia’s largest sail-training tall ship.

According to the Fremantle Ports, an inspection of the Leeuwin was conducted by Leeuwin staff on Saturday, with no underwater damage identified, and the vessel’s watertight compartments secured. The vessel is under close supervision and currently remains at its home berth on Victoria Quay.

Both of the injured night watch crew members who were aboard the Leeuwin when the incident happened were discharged from the hospital over the weekend and are recovering well.

Regular port operations in the Inner Harbour resumed on Friday evening after it was determined that there were no underwater obstructions or debris.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has begun its investigation.

“Concerning the Maritime Museum roof, our engineers conducted an early inspection on Friday and determined that the damage to the roof is not structural but only to the cladding,” Fremantle Ports concluded.

Also on Monday, the Maersk Media Team told WorldCargo News that it did not have any updates besides the statement sent on Friday after the accident occurred.
