After running aground twice in the Paraná River near Rosario on Oct 22, 2024, the 'Beyond 2' was finally refloated by the tugs 'Candela S,', 'Brutos' and 'Ona Don Vicente' on Oct 23. The ship anchored in the Rosario Harbor to receive routine inspections. The ship was loaded with 33000 tons of sorghum, which were destined for China.

The 'Ruby' has finally been allowed to dock in the port of Great Yarmouth. The vessel with its cargo of fertilizer had been anchored at a safe distance off Margate since September in pos. 51° 31' N 001° 45' E, and now has received permission from the UK Government and the Ministry of Transport to enter Great Yarmouth, as the port has the capability to handle dangerous cargo, and the transshipment of such chemicals is common practice across the port group. The ship left its anchorage on Oct 27 at 1 p.m. and was approaching the port the next morning at around 7 a.m. UTC. The damaged vessel was initially anchored in the European Economic Zone but moved closer to shore due to inclement weather in the North Sea. While the damage has not rendered the ship unseaworthy, it requires repairs, which can only be carried out after the cargo has been unloaded.
