Vessel Refloated After Grounding at Chittagong

The containership CNC Uranus was successfully refloated after grounding near the entrance to Bangladesh’s Chittagong Port on 3 August. The vessel reportedly suffered a steering gear malfunction and struck Red Buoy No. 2 while entering the Karnaphuli River channel. Two port tugs, Kandari-4 and Kandari-11, assisted in refloating the vessel, which was later moved to Chittagong Anchorage. No injuries or pollution were reported, and vessel traffic through the port channel remained unaffected.
