Live tracking and data notes

The live ship tracker on this page provides a map-based AIS view for BANGKOK EXPRESS through the configured external tracking provider. AIS information can be delayed, incomplete or temporarily unavailable because reception and provider coverage vary by area and vessel. The map is intended for general vessel discovery and position context and must not be used for navigation or safety-critical decisions.

Additional profile sections appear only when suitable source records are available, including ownership and management, engine or classification information, surveys, inspections, casualties, and sale or demolition events. Missing fields are not filled with invented values, so some modules may be absent when the underlying data snapshot does not contain sufficient evidence. The profile is compiled from controlled source records maintained for Ship-Tracker.org and may change as newer verified data becomes available.

2026-02-06Collision

On the evening of February 6, 2026, the LNG bunkering tanker K. Lotus (IMO 9901362) sustained damage during a bunkering operation on the Nieuwe Maas River in Rotterdam. The incident occurred when a stack of containers collapsed from the German-flagged containership Bangkok Express (IMO 9943889), which was engaged in cargo operations at the same terminal.

At least five containers landed on the stern of the K. Lotus, while several others fell into the water. Bunkering was immediately halted and the crew evacuated the tanker as a precaution, leading to a temporary suspension of terminal operations. While the extent of the structural damage to the K. Lotus remains under assessment, no injuries or pollution were reported. An investigation into the cause of the stack collapse is currently ongoing.
