Voyager-K

The 168 meter long, 26591 dwt bulk freighter Voyager K went aground while attempting to berth in Chittagong, Bangladesh. The Voyager K had arrived from Russia with 22,000 tons of wheat and remained at the outer anchorage.  The port authority attempted to berth the vessel, but the tide had receded and the Voyager K became stuck in the river.  Authorities state the vessel was expected to refloat itself on the following rising tide. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
