Grounding Incident Involves 'Ever Grand' at Brake Pier
On July 3, 2015, at 9:45 PM, the Panama-flagged bulk carrier 'Ever Grand' encountered grounding issues at the south pier in Brake. The vessel, which had recently departed from Aratu carrying a substantial cargo of 60,000 tons of soy pellets, was operating with a draught of 11.9 meters. While mooring at the bow, the ship was inadvertently pushed towards the fairway by the outgoing tide, resulting in it becoming stranded. Despite the efforts of two tugboats that attempted to refloat the bulk carrier, it remained snagged at the pier, necessitating additional ropes for stabilization. Fortunately, about an hour later, rising tide levels lifted the stern of the 'Ever Grand,' allowing the tugs to successfully secure the vessel once again. Preliminary investigations indicated that a sandbar had formed at the berth, contributing to the incident. Importantly, ship traffic on the lower Weser River continued without disruption.
