Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Obahan-C

In a significant maritime incident on August 28, 2024, at 6:20 a.m., the bulk carrier 'Obahan C' collided with the 'Nord Singapore' (IMO: 9913535) on the Paraná River, precisely at kilometer 337.5 near San Nicolás. The unfortunate crash occurred due to a communication breakdown between the two vessels. Fortunately, no injuries or environmental harm were reported as a result of the collision. However, the incident caused considerable damage to a rescue boat positioned on the port side of the 'Obahan C'. At the time of the accident, the 'Obahan C' was transporting a notable 30,000 tonnes of soybean meal and was on a downstream journey to Tema, navigating with a draft of approximately 9.30 meters. Meanwhile, the 'Nord Singapore', which was ballasting from Navegantes to São Lourenço with a draft close to 7 meters, was scheduled to load 31,000 tons of corn in San Lorenzo before heading to Malaysia. Following the incident, the 'Nord Singapore' anchored at San Nicolás North Roads at river kilometer 349, while the 'Obahan C' secured itself at Ramallo Roads at river kilometer 325, taking position at 33° 28' S 060° 00' W. In response to the collision, Argentine authorities promptly dispatched the patrol boat 'BP 6239' to assess the situation, inspect the damage inflicted, and ensure navigation safety in the affected area. This event highlights the critical importance of effective communication in maritime operations.
