On May 18, the Argentine Naval Prefecture has launched an investigation into the cause of the allision between a barge convoy, pushed by the "HB Perseus", and the tanker 'Ginga Bobcat' (IMO: 9472737) off the coast of Parque España in Rosario on May 17 at 5.15 p.m. in a busy area of the Paraná River with restricted navigation. The tug was crewed by a Paraguayan team, and had Argentine pilots on board. The tanker was anchored in the designated area for such maneuvers. The tug was performing a coordinated maneuver to move out of the way of a third vessel following behind. Following the allision, a part of the convoy was temporarily separated, and several barges went adrift. The tug quickly managed to recover them. There were no injuries or pollution in the river, Coast Guard technical personnel was inspecting both vessels to assess the damage and reconstruct the sequence of events.

Collision on Paraná River
On the morning of June 23, 2024, the bulk carrier 'Bulk Croatia' (IMO: 9875020) was in collision with a convoy of barges pushed upstream by the'HB Perseus', on the Rio Paraná. The bulk carrier was sailing downstream towards Ramallo, en route from San Lorenzo, when the accident occurred at river km 343 near Puerto San Nicolás, and caused the 'Bulk Croatia' to turn and getting stuck on the left bank of the canal, with its bow pointing upstream. It had suffered a hole in the starboard side bow above the waterline. Also the barges were damaged. The cause of the incident was a strong southern wind that dragged the barges towards the vessel. Ship navigation in the area remained open. The authorities were working to position the ship so that it did not obstruct navigation in a position that did not interfere with the passage of other vessels. The Argentine Naval Prefecture recommended ships in the area to proceed with caution while the necessary maneuvers were carried out to ensure free movement in the channel.
