On July 19th, 2024, two oil tankers caught fire about 34 miles off the coast of Singapore, near the island of Pedra Branca.
The Singaporean navy quickly responded, rescuing the crews from the burning vessels and providing medical aid.
The cause of the fire is still being investigated, but it happened near the world's largest bunkering port, which is crucial for global oil trade.
Singapore, a major hub for oil trading in Asia, is working to ensure the safety of shipping in its waters.
