Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Mtm-Santos

On January 31, 2019, the oil tanker MTM Santos encountered difficulties while navigating away from the port of Piombino, Italy. The vessel strayed from the designated fairway and unfortunately ran aground. At the time of the incident, the tanker was moving at a slow speed, which played a role in its ability to be quickly assisted by a tugboat on scene. After successful efforts to refloat the ship, MTM Santos returned to Piombino for thorough inspections. Following the checks, the tanker resumed its voyage, departing Piombino late on February 1, with its sights set on Rio Grande, Brazil, where it is expected to arrive by February 20.
