BW LPG’s trail-blazing LPG-fuelled gas carrier BW Gemini was involved in a collision with another vessel off the Atlantic entrance to the Panama Canal on Saturday.

First indications from the BW Group spin-off indicate that any damage to the 84,134-cbm BW Gemini (built 2015) will have little impact on its voyage schedule.

The VLCG was "lightly struck" by another ship while anchored off Cristobal, Oslo-listed BW LPG said in a statement on Sunday.
