1. At about 21:13:44 on 22 March 2008, the bow of the Chinese flagged bulk carrier Yao Hai collided with the starboard aft quarter of the Ukrainian flagged oil-rig supply vessel, Neftegaz 67 (“N 67”) at the eastern entrance to the Castle Peak (“CP”) buoyed channel a short distance south of the CP1 buoy. The Yao Hai was on a passage from Dalian and was navigating westbound destined for the port of Shekou, whereas the N 67 was eastbound on her journey to supply an oil rig in the South China Sea.
