Unmonitored Vessel Contributes to Collision in Dense Fog TSS Area

In dense fog, a bulk carrier collision in a busy TSS reveals a critical gap: an unmonitored vessel went unnoticed. This incident underscores that navigation safety depends on complete situational awareness, not just the traffic that is actively tracked. The loss of oversight in a high-density corridor is a measurable failure of maritime intelligence.
