Zodiac cape hits reef in Indonesia
Zodiac Maritime’s 2014-built Indian Partnership capesize bulk carrier hit a reef in the Seram Sea in eastern Indonesia yesterday.
The ship was carrying a cargo of bauxite from Australia to China when it struck the reef, with the hull breached and quickly taking on water.
The ship can be seen listing to starboard and down at the head, in images released by the Indonesian navy.
“After hitting the reef, the vessel proceeded under her own power to shallow water near Misool Island, Indonesia where she is now safely afloat at anchor,” a spokesperson for Zodiac Maritime said.
