A Greek bulker has been detained in India following an alleged collision with a fishing vessel that left two dead and another man missing.

The accident, which according to the Indian navy involved Karlog Shipping's 47,000-dwt Amber L (built 2000), happened on Sunday.

The Mumbai Mirror cited a statement by the navy saying the ship came into collision with the fishing boat Carmel Matha, which capsized 30 miles north of Kochi.
