Four Aground At Chattogram

On May 30, a strong monsoon storm struck the Bay of Bengal along the coast near the port of Chattogram, Bangladesh. The storm had wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour with downpour rain and heavy seas. Several vessels that had been at anchor were blown ashore.
Near Anwara, the tugboat Navimar-3 had been detained due to the over fuel bills. The tugboat along with the barge Mermaid-3 were blown ashore.
North of Chattogram, the tanker Al Herem was driven ashore after dragging its anchors. Reports state the tanker had lost control due to the heavy seas which washed the Al Herem onto the shore. Another tanker the 116 meter long B-LPG Sophia was blown ashore. The B-LPG Sophia had been at anchor since it had suffered an explosion and fire back in October 2024. The burnt out hull drifted ashore.
With all four vessels, there were no reports of injuries.
