The 289 meter long, 170,082 dwt bulk carrier New Katerina ran aground in the Suez Canal, Egypt. The New Katerina was proceeding to Qingdao, China from Ukraine with a cargo of iron ore when it struck a canal embankment. The bulk carrier suffered hull damage with a 12 meter long breach in the bow. The vessel suffered uncontrolled water ingress in the fore compartments causing the vessel to settle by the bow.

With waves reaching 12 feet, the seven crew on the Carolina Queen III were hoisted off by a rescue helicopter. During the rescue, the 25-foot Coast Guard response boat capsized and spilled out five crew into the water. The Coast Guard crew were able to swim ashore. No reports of injuries, but the seven crew were later taken to hospital for observation. Reports state the 25-foot rescue boat was later secured on the shore.
