kyr1 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) A cargo ship carrying 47,650 tonnes of coal has broken apart a few hundred metres off of South Africa's Richards Bay port with large parts of the vessel underwater, maritime officials said on Tuesday. The 230-metre-long ship, named SMART, ran aground in rough seas on Monday. It was not blocking shipping lanes at the Indian Ocean port or impeding operations at the Richards Bay Coal Terminal, the largest coal shipping point on the continent, they said. "Tugs tried to assist the vessel but to no avail. The vessel has buckled and broken in two," the east coastport's authority Transnet said in a statement. The single-hull, 151,279 tonne ship is registered to Alpha Marine Corp and flies a Panamanian flag. After loading at Richards Bay it was intended to deliver its cargo to a port in China, according to Thomson Reuters data. "Currently, there is no environmental impact. There is no oil spillage at this stage," said Preston Khomo, the port manager. There was no information immediately available on what type of coal it was carrying. On Monday, 23 crew members including the captain were airlifted off the vessel after it ran aground. No injuries were reported.

kyr1 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Eντυπωσιακές -αν μη τι άλλο- φωτογραφίες του πρυμναίου μέρους το οποίο ανασύρθηκε και ρυμουλκήθηκε στα βαθειά όπου και βυθίστηκε -εκ προθέσεως πλέον- βλέπουμε εδώ. Salvors working to remove the MV Smart shipwreck in Richards Bay, South Africa successfully refloated the stern section of the broken capesize bulk carrier before towing it out to sea where it was sunk. A salvage team made up of South African-based Subtech Group and SMIT Amandla Marine said this week that the stern section was successfully refloated by the 181 ton bollard pull tug, Smit Amandla. The section was then towed out to sea where it was intentionally sunk. As gCaptain reported previously, the 151,279 dwt bulk carrier MV SMART ran aground August 19th as she departed the port of Richards Bay with 147,650 tons of coal, eventually breaking up and coming to rest along a sandbar just outside the port. Prior to the stern’s refloating, crews from Subtech and SMIT Salvage worked to remove all fuel oil and coal on board. Σε άλλο άρθρο, το οποίο δεν παραθέτω καθώς η ποιότητα των αγγλικών είναι τέτοια που μόλις και μετα βίας βγάζεις άκρη και επιπλέον αφήνει πολλά περιθώρια για την ποιότητα των πληροφοριών που αναφερονται, διάβασα ότι απομένει να ολοκληρωθούν οι διαδικασίες στο υπόλοιπο κομμάτι του πλοίου το οποίο όμως περιλαμβάνει αρκετά αμπάρια έμφορτα, με το φορτίο να έχει πλέον περιέλθει σε υγρή μάζα.
