Container ship refloated with combined forces
On Aug 4, the 'CNC Uranus' was successfully refloated and moved to the 'B' (Bravo) anchorage after running aground in the Karnaphuli River channel. It was moored in pos. 22° 13' N 091° 46' E. An intensive overnight operation caused no disruption to Chittagong Port. The port channel was fully operational and safe, and normal port activities continued uninterrupted. The vessel had suffered a sudden steering failure on Aug 3 at 2.15 p.m. when approaching the port, carrying 1,282 TEUs of cargo and 24 crew members. It lost control, allided with the red buoy number 2 and grounded at the river mouth's retaining wall. The CPA deployed the tugs 'Kandari 4' (IMO: 9857626) and 'Kandari 11' (IMO: 9733909), which were joined by the tug 'Shibsa' of the Bangladesh Navy, the 'Promatta' of the Coast Guard and a tunnel tugboat. While emergency preparations were made to unload containers to reduce the ship’s 9.50-meter draft, the combined fleet successfully freed the vessel without needing to do so. No casualties or cargo damages were reported. Reports with photos: https://www.businesstimes-bd.com/bangladesh/9872 https://www.bssnews.net/district/411416
