The Hafnia Nile (IMO: 9766217), an LR1 tanker owned and operated by Hafnia
Limited ("Hafnia" or the "Company", OSE ticker code "HAFNI", NYSE ticker code

carrier) in the South China Sea. The collision caused a fire onboard. Our team

(MRCC). An appointed salvor has been mobilized to support the ongoing response
efforts.
All crew members onboard the Hafnia Nile have been safely rescued. Two seafarers
have suffered minor injuries, while the remaining crew members are understood to
be in good condition. The crew's family has been informed and is regularly
updated on the situation. There is no information on pollution.
