The Chaves suffered water ingress near the bow and developed a starboard list.  A witness notified authorities the vessel was in danger as the crew on board were asleep at the time. The vessel was secured  with additional mooring lines until it could be taken to a shipyard for repairs. Reports state the vessel was able to depart the following day for Antwerp. No reports of injuries or pollution released.
