The 27,192 dwt freighter Mirach went aground off the south coast of India near Anjugraman. The vessel’s hull was holed when it struck bottom in shallow waters during severe weather. Water Ingress has flooded from the bow to Hold No. 4. The crew of 25 have been evacuated.
The 80,170 dwt freighter Haina Golden went aground after the vessel touched the bottom while leaving the Kandla Port Channel, India. As the vessel was leaving, another vessel was entering the channel. This forced both vessels to move closer to the edge of the channel to give enough room for the vessels to pass each other. The Haina Golden suffered no damage and will be refloated during the next high tide. No reports of pollution or injuries.
