Grounded trawler capsized in storm
Maritime authorities assured that the fuel tanks of the 'Leopardo' at the La Aguada beach, in the municipality of Corral, have remained sealed, and the municipality and residents of Corral were maintaining strict vigilance following the discovery of oil residue on the coast. The vessel, which initially ran aground on July 16, has suffered significant structural damage after the swells and winds. The increased list of the vessel, which was now resting on its starboard side half submerged, was due to recent surf and the north wind that battered the bay. The Corral Port Authority has deployed preventative absorbent booms to contain any leaks. The priority now was the permanent removal plan, a responsibility that falls to the ship's owner, the Pesquera San Lázaro, which has been given 90 days to permanently remove the vessel. The municipality has been closely monitoring the situation following the impact of a storm system that affected various parts of the district on Aug 1.

Trawler grounded in adverse weather
The 'Leopardo' ran aground on the rocks of La Aguada at the coast of the Corral commune in the Región de Los Ríos, after the anchor dragged by strong winds in Corral Bay on July 16, 2025, at 5.10 p.m. Adverse weather conditions had generated heavy swells and strong winds in the area. The Corral Port Authority immediately deployed the 'LSR 4424' and Maritime Police personnel to the area and successfully evacuated the four crew members, who were safely brought ashore. The Chilean Navy kept the ship under surveillance overnight. The Maritime Authority continued to monitor the situation, preventing risks to people, and avoiding water pollution. The trawler had no fuel in its tanks, as it was awaiting mandatory repairs and maintenance.
