El buque New Assurance se chocó la mañana de este sábado 11 de abril con una estructura del muelle de Petroterminales de Panamá, en el distrito de Barú, en la provincia de Chiriquí. De acuerdo con los informes, hubo un pequeño derrame de combustible al océano Pacífico, en la parte del brazo. El brazo es la pieza que se utilizado para transportar el combustible del puerto al tanquero y viceversa. Según los informes, en el barco estaba el piloto, quien fue el responsable de la maniobra. Esta reparación no se podrá realizar en Panamá. Para este tipo de situaciones se cuentan con seguros que cubren los daños. New Assurance iba a descargar combustible al muelle de Petroterminales. La reparación del barco deberá realizarse en otro país debido a que Panamá no hay un astillero adecuado, el único que existe está en Balboa, pero está cerrado.
