On September 4, 2018, the bulk carrier 'Glad Mark' encountered a significant mishap as it ran aground in the Rio de La Plata, specifically at river kilometer 188 near Montevideo. This unfortunate incident was attributed to a malfunction of the ship's main engine while it was en route from Baltimore to Ingeniero Buitrango. The following day, September 5, 'Glad Mark' remained stranded at coordinates 35° 10.15' S and 056° 31.28' W, with the patrol boat 'Bahia Blanca' in close proximity to provide assistance.
