In a recent update reported by Bloomberg, the oil tanker Eagle Kinabalu successfully refloated itself after running aground near Port Arthur, Texas. Fortunately, the vessel was not damaged and did not cause any pollution, according to its owner, AET Inc. The double-hulled tanker, registered in Singapore under IMO number 9382923, became beached along the banks of the Sabine-Neches waterway around 6 p.m. local time on April 2, 2023. AET confirmed that while two tugs were on standby to assist the vessel, they were ultimately not required as the Eagle Kinabalu was able to back off and regain its buoyancy on its own. Following the incident, the ship proceeded to the nearest anchorage. AET Inc., based in Hamilton, Bermuda, stated that they are investigating the circumstances leading to the grounding in collaboration with the relevant authorities. The incident was brief, as the Eagle Kinabalu was en route to open waters at the time of the grounding.
