In an incident reported on October 19, 2023, the bulk carrier C.S. Dream collided with a buoy in the shipping channel of the Port of Burgas, Bulgaria. While navigating through the channel with a pilot on board, the vessel attempted to maneuver to avoid an impending collision with a small pleasure craft. Unfortunately, during this evasive action, the Master lost control of a container, resulting in the C.S. Dream striking Buoy No 6. The vessel’s rudder stock entangled the buoy's anchor chain, causing it to be dragged towards the pier. Upon successfully docking at Pier 22 in the Port of Burgas, the crew was unaware that the buoy had been dislodged. The incident was later discovered by port authorities and dockworkers, prompting an immediate order for a special survey and underwater inspection to assess any potential damages. The situation highlights the complexities and challenges faced by vessels navigating busy shipping channels.
