In January 2019 Antea collided with Star Centurion while the latter was anchored in Indonesian waters. Star Centurion became a total loss. The Indonesian Ministry of Transportation issued a wreck removal order to the owners of Star Centurion requiring them to raise and remove the vessel and render her harmless. It was not disputed that the collision was entirely the fault of Antea.
