So this is what it looks like when two 10,000-ton vessels smush into each other. Last Saturday two cargo ships collided near the port of Shenzhen, most likely as a result of heavy fog. This particular collision luckily resulted in no casualties or oil leakage, just some nasty-looking hull damage.

Shanghai port is fogged up, 300 ships are stuck
We're shrouded in fog! And if you think you're having trouble getting around, think about how the 300 ships on the Huangpu River feel. Visibility is around 1000 meters all around, and reaches lows of 500 meters in some of the worse hit areas. This is the second time this month that fog has made things tough for the 2,000 incoming and outgoing ships Shanghai sees around the area. Last week, 700 got stuck at port. Source:Philstar
