Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Diambogne

On July 29, the cargo vessel GRANDE NIGERIA, operated by Grimaldi Lines, unintentionally broke free from her moorings at the bustling Dakar port in Senegal. In a distressing turn of events, the vessel collided with the stationary ferry DIAMBOGNE, which primarily operates on the Dakar-Ziguinchor route. The impact resulted in significant damages to DIAMBOGNE, with a breach to the starboard side of her hull. This breach led to water flooding into the engine room, leaving the ferry incapacitated. Both GRANDE NIGERIA and DIAMBOGNE have remained moored in Dakar since the incident, as assessments and repairs are underway.
