One man is missing and presumed dead, and there are concerns about an oil slick of unknown size after a Kampuchea Tela oil tanker crashed into a jetty belonging to the company at Sihanoukville.

The 100-metre-wide docking platform and about 80 metres of jetty at the end of the 1,200-metre-long structure were destroyed after being struck by the Vietnamese tanker at about 4pm on Tuesday.

Preah Sihanouk provincial police deputy chief Kol Phaly said “many” port workers were rescued from the water by the crew of the tanker.
However, one security guard, Sem Vannak, 18, who lived in a post on the platform, disappeared when it and other structures fell into the sea...

Workers interviewed by the police said the oil tanker had been attempting to unload oil at the facility, located about 10km north of the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port, when the ship ran into the platform without slowing down, said Stung Hav district police chief Ros Key.
