Berge-Phan-Xi-Pang Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On September 29, 2019, a maritime incident occurred at 2:15 p.m. in the Bay of São Marcos near São Luís, when the ore carrier 'Wugang Atlantic' collided with the bulk carrier 'Berge Phan Xi Pang' as it was maneuvering to dock at the port of Itaquí. At the time of the collision, the 'Berge Phan Xi Pang' was departing from the Vale Terminal in São Luís. Both vessels sustained damage and subsequently anchored off Itaquí while investigations commenced. The port captain of Maranhão has initiated an inquiry into the factors leading to the accident. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries or pollution resulting from the incident. On October 10, 2019, the 'Wugang Atlantic' departed São Luís Anchorage, setting course for Curacao for necessary repairs. Meanwhile, the 'Berge Phan Xi Pang' continued its journey to Vila do Conde Port to disembark its remaining cargo. A decision regarding its repairs will be made later. The ship eventually docked at Zhoushan IMC-YongYue Shipyard on December 29, 2019, and resumed its voyage on January 11, 2020, heading towards Kwinana/Bunbury, with an estimated time of arrival on January 27.
