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.
