Panamax bulker grounded off Santos
On Jan 23, 2015, at 10.15 a.m. LT the "Fu May" ran aground at the coast of São Paulo while approaching the bulk terminal in the port of Santos with a cargo of 66000 tons corn. The vessel which was enroute from São Francisco do Sul to Porto de Cigading, veered to port and got out of the fairway with the foreship, reportedly due to a faulty command of the master west of Palmas Island. The vessel which had a draft of 12,7 meters was refloated in the afternoon at 5.15 p.m. with three tugs and was anchored on Santos roads for surveys by the Maritime Authority. On board was a crew of 23 Taiwanese.
