Two dry cargo vessels collided in the Izmail port.
While maneuvering before mooring, the bulk carrier KLC Erciyes collided with the bulk carrier Jasmin Queen on the bow of the hull. At that time, the second ship was standing near the berth, writes “Dumska”.
According to the available information, the incident happened at the beginning of July. The extent of damage to both vessels is unknown.
A similar situation occurred at the end of March. Then, as a result of the accident of two vessels in Izmail, the gangway of the pontoon crashed into the embankment.
Jasmin Queen left Izmail Port on July 4 and was heading to Alexandria. However, the bulk cargo later anchored near Cape Chatal on the Danube, local media reported.
Bulk carrier KLC Erciyes is currently loading at the berth. According to USM, the KLC Erciyes was calling at the Russian port of Tuapse in April, as evidenced by MarineTraffic data.
In addition, the ship went to the port of Novorossiysk for repairs at the end of November 2022 – when the Russian Federation’s full-scale war against Ukraine was already in full swing, and just in November, the Armed Forces of Ukraine recaptured Kherson. And KLC Erciyes was paying money to a Russian shipbuilding company at that time.
USM previously reported that charterers involved in the Grain Initiative continue to load vessels in Russian ports.
