Bulk carrier towed to Durban after rudder damage
The 'Vishva Anand' suffered rudder damage in position 27 12 47 S, 34 21 11 E, after it had sailed from Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Sep 27, was NUC on Oct 11 from 03.55 a.m. until Oct 14 at 10.40 a.m. when the navigation status switched to 'Restricted Manoeuvrability' about 70 miles off Ponta Dobela, in position 26 54 14 S, 34 09 40 E, probably indicating that the towage had started. The vessel was then moving at a slow speed under the same navigation status, until it reached the port of Durban on Oct 27 where it berthed at the New Pier Container Terminal at 8 a.m. The rudder will possibly be replaced with a new unit being manufactured as of Dec 25.
