A MR tanker owned by Greek owner Stealth Maritime has been in collision with a US Navy destroyer off Singapore.

This is the second accident involving US Navy destroyers colliding with commercial ships in Asian waters in little more than two months.

The latest incident occurred early Monday morning and involved the USS John S McCain and the 50,800-dwt Alnic MC (built 2008) while both ships were underway east of the Straits of Malacca and Singapore.
