On April 7, 2014, the bulk carrier 'Great Qin,' laden with 170,000 tons of bauxite, grounded approximately 2.7 nautical miles from the Cabo Rojo port in the Pedernales Province of the Dominican Republic. Swift action was taken by the Dominican Navy, in collaboration with various agencies, to mitigate potential environmental damage, particularly to the nearby Bahia de las Aguilas. The 'Great Qin' was making its way from Cabo Rojo to Shandong, China at the time of the incident. Fortunately, reports indicated no imminent risk of spills or structural breaches threatening the vessel's hull. On April 8, Navy chief of staff Edwin Dominici, alongside Environment Minister Bautista Rojas and Port Authority director Ramon Rivas, coordinated efforts to free the ship. Unloading a portion of its cargo was anticipated as a solution to facilitate the vessel's recovery.
