Bulk carrier broke lose at Quang Trach Thermal Power Plant harbour
High waves and strong winds caused the mooring lines of the 'Spirit of Seatrek' with 21 crew members and a cargo of 60,680 tons of coal on board, to snap, while it was moored at the Quang Trach Thermal Power Plant harbour on Nov 9, 2026, at approximately 3:00 p.m. The mooring lines amidships broke, leaving only the bow and stern lines intact. Border guards dispatched emergency personnel to assist the ship, which had entered the port on Oct 22 and docked at the pier at 7:00 p.m. on Nov 5 to unload its cargo. The Roòn border station dispatched five officers and soldiers to reinforce the ship's mooring lines, working alongside the Hòn La port authority and port personnel. The forces implemented a plan to reinforce and supplement the mooring system to keep the ship stable against waves and winds. The repair process faced many difficulties due to the still adverse weather conditions, with large waves and strong winds. After many hours of work, the mooring problem was resolved, the 'Spirit of Seatrek' was secured, and the engines were restarted on Nov 10 at 5:00 a.m. To proactively respond to further weather developments, the Quang Tri Border Guard continued to maintain contact with the captain of the vessel to update the situation, and was also exchanging information with the Maritime SAR Coordination Center Region 2, which was ready with plans to provide assistance in case of an emergency. Strong winds of force 6-7 with gusts up to force 8-9 and rough seas were recorded in the waters off Quang Tri Province.
