2014 built bulk carrier runs aground in Port of Richards Bay on maiden voyage

The 2014-built capesize bulk carrier LEOPOLD LD arrived in Richards Bay on the first of May 2014 after completing her maiden voyage from Tianjin Xingang Shipbuilding Heavy Industries. She was greeted with quite a bit of fanfare and congratulations from local port authorities as reported by the Zululand Observer. The Leopold LD, which has a draft of 17.5 meters, was reportedly loaded with more than 165,000 tones of coal before it departed for the port of Ashqelon in Israel today. As it was making its way out of port however, it ran aground opposite Naval Island in the Port of Richards Bay. Three minutes later it came to a dead stop with the bow well into the shallower water off the south of the channel.
