An investigation has begun after a dredger was filmed hitting a tanker at what appeared to be full speed off Malaysia.

The Star daily reported that the 3,745-dwt hopper dredger Oceanline 5001 (built 2008) crashed into a product carrier on 2 October close to Tanjung Bruas Port.

Footage shows panicked crew on the tanker shouting in horror as the dredger steams towards their vessel.
