Rek-Grace Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

In a significant maritime incident, the bulk carrier 'Eden Bay' collided with the freighter 'Mazury' on the morning of October 11, 2017. The accident occurred in the Curuá-Fazendinhin Canal at Macapá on the Amazon River. At the time of the collision, the wheat-laden 'Eden Bay' was awaiting permission to anchor while the 'Mazury', carrying a load of fertilizer, had already been moored. Caught by strong currents, the British vessel drifted and struck the 'Mazury'. Both ships were en route to Manaus and had pilots onboard during the incident. The 'Mazury' sustained significant damage, including dents to its superstructure and hull, particularly at the portside stern. Meanwhile, the 'Eden Bay' reported damages at its bow, which included breaches above the waterline. Following the incident, both vessels were anchored off Santana in Macapá for assessment and recovery. This incident raises concerns about potential environmental risks and the safety of maritime operations in this busy waterway.
