What Crew Members Say About Lamar-S

On the morning of November 12, 2019, the bulk carrier 'Split' faced a challenging situation while anchored in the outer area of Shanghai's Yangtze Estuary. The vessel, which was carrying a substantial cargo of 41,000 tons of steel, had been stationed at its mooring since November 2. However, during the early hours, 'Split' was reported to have dragged its anchor and requested immediate assistance. In response, the Marine Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) Shanghai deployed the salvage vessel 'Dong Hai Jiu 118' to aid the drifting ship. Despite facing adverse conditions characterized by strong northern winds and tumultuous seas, the salvage team successfully towed 'Split' to safer waters. By evening, the troubled bulk carrier was securely moored at the Luhuashan Anchorage, coordinates 30° 47.21' N 122° 36.01' E, ensuring the well-being of the crew and the safety of its cargo.
