While carrying out a routine turning maneuver in the port’s second turning basin, the vessel’s stern drifted close to the 'Haian Opus', which was berthed at Pier 77. Despite repeated radio warnings from the navigation control center, the ship was unable to correct its course in time.

No casualties or oil spills were reported.
