The incident occurred when a 57,000 DWT cargo ship was moving on the Vung Tau - Thi Vai stream (in the Cai Mep area) and collided with the SSIT wharf. Firstly, the ship collided with a moored barge at the wharf and then collided with the wharf.

We quickly approached the area of the affected wharf and collected the current status using 3D laser scanning technology and Photogrammetry technique to reconstruct a 3D model of the ship. Based on the pre-collision data (speed, direction of movement) combined with the scanned data, we simulated the collision process to provide scenarios for structural analysis (the displacement of the rail, the damaged components of the wharf). The information obtained from the analysis will serve the repair design process.
