Aeoloian Grace
On March 3, the 225 meter long, 76525 dwt bulk carrier Aeoloian Grace ran aground at São Francisco do Sul, Brazil. The Aeoloian Grace was maneuvering just outside the port of Laje da Barata when it ran aground 500 meters from the port. Authorities were alerted and two tugs were dispatched to stabilize the bulk carrier. The grounding was most likely due to the low tide. Divers have inspected the hull and a team is onsite to monitor pollution. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released. Local authorities have launched an investigation into the incident.
