Riviera - News Content Hub - Cargo ship refloated after grounding in the Suez Canal

Three tugs were mobilised to refloat a corn-carrying ship in one of several maritime accidents so far in 2023

A incident occurred off the coast of Colombia: a container ship belonging to the traditional shipping company "Hamburg Süd" ran into difficulties over the weekend. The captain's failed maneuver was apparently to blame.

The freighter "Monte Pascoal" ran aground on Saturday off Cartagena. "The ship entered the approach channel to the port in an improper manner," the port captain, Javier Gómez, told the newspaper "El Universal." "Hamburg Süd" confirmed the incident on Monday to MOPO. However, not much happened: the "Monte Pascoal" had to wait for a bit more water for about two to three hours, then three boats were able to refloat the container ship.

The freighter then anchored in the port of Mamonal. In the meantime, the "Monte Pascoal" has resumed its planned route with some delay, according to "Hamburg Süd."

The 272-meter-long "Monte Pascoal" was built for "Hamburg Süd" in 2005. The freighter is 40 meters wide, has a draft of 13.2 meters, and can reach speeds of up to 23 knots (42.6 km/h).
