Visual Evidence and TikTok Footage of the Berthing Incident
Footage of the event surfaced online via a video shared on TikTok at about 10.45am on Aug 10. The video captures a three-storey yacht reversing into its berth. At least seven individuals, decked in white tops and dark-coloured shorts, are seen moving hurriedly on the boat and the adjacent pontoon. A person in dark-coloured attire drags a fender—a protective bumper designed to absorb shock and prevent vessels from knocking against docks—and places it directly between the yacht’s stern and the pontoon. The yacht appears to knock into the fender, pushing it against the pontoon and sending ripples through the water. Smoke is subsequently seen wafting over the platform, accompanied by shouting from people appearing to be crew members or marina staff.
Next Steps and Ongoing Inquiries
Meanwhile, media inquiries are ongoing, with The Straits Times having contacted the Sentosa Development Corporation for more information regarding the incident.
