On November 28, 2020, the bulk carrier 'NSU Carajás' was involved in a collision incident at Ponta da Madeira Maritime Terminal in São Luis. While maneuvering to dock at pier 4, the vessel accidentally allided with two moored ships at pier 3, resulting in damage to all three vessels. Notable among those impacted were the bulk carriers 'Star Janni,' which suffered considerable damage on its port side aft, and 'Korona D.' In the aftermath, all involved bulk carriers were subsequently relocated to Itaqui anchorage, where they were securely moored approximately 25 miles offshore for detailed inspections.
