MV Devon Bay was a Singaporean bulk carrier that was built in 2013 and serviced Asia. On January 23, 2026, the vessel capsized and sank in the South China Sea near the disputed atoll of Scarborough Shoal after the cargo it was carrying shifted to one side of the vessel during bad weather. Six crew members were killed and 15 were rescued.
