Bulk carrier hits and drags buoy in Burgas

The bulk carrier C.S. Dream collided and dragged buoy at the shipping channel in Port of Burgas, Bulgaria. The vessel was proceeding through the channel to dock at the port with pilot on board, but maneuvered hardly to avoid collision with small pleasure craft and the Master lost container, colliding with the Buoy No 6 at the channel. During the collision the rudder stock raveled the anchor chain of the buoy and dragged it to the pier. The vessel docked at the Pier 22 in Port of Burgas without anyone of the bridge to see the dragged buoy. After docking the accident was noticed by the port authorities and dockworkers and was ordered special survey and underwater inspection. http://www.maritimeherald.com/2016/bulk-carrier-c-s-dream-collided-and-dragged-buoy-in-burgas/
