On April 1, 2021, a vessel was beached at the bustling port of Chittagong, a key maritime hub in Bangladesh. This incident raises important questions regarding maritime safety and environmental impact as the local authorities assess the situation. The Chittagong port, known for its strategic significance in international shipping, may face operational challenges due to this unforeseen event. As investigations continue, the maritime community is on alert for updates regarding the vessel’s condition and any potential salvage operations.

In a notable development in the maritime industry, a vessel has been successfully sold to the Greek shipping firm Eurotankers for a total of $22.5 million. This acquisition marks another strategic addition to Eurotankers' growing fleet, positioning them for future opportunities in the competitive shipping market.

The vessel 'Ratna Puja' has been successfully refloated from its grounding site located above Cubit’s Gap, approximately 10 miles south of Venice, Louisiana. After the operation, the ship made its way to South West Pass Fairway anchorage, where it was securely anchored. On June 16, salvors from Donjon-SMIT performed a detailed hull survey of the vessel while it remained at anchor. During this assessment, some damage was identified on the bilge keel; however, the hull itself was found to be intact. Following this inspection, the U.S. Coast Guard granted clearance for 'Ratna Puja' to resume its journey towards St. Eustatius.
