Star-Angelina Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

In a remarkable salvaging feat, the ore carrier 'Abyo Angelino' was successfully refloated on September 19, 2014, at 11:30 PM. The operation took place on the Paraná River in General Lagos, where the tug 'Ranquel' played a key role in the refloating process. The vessel, which was carrying a hefty 40,000 tons of iron ore destined for China, had found itself stranded at Arroyo Seco near river kilometer 393.5 on September 15 at 1:05 AM while on its way to the harbor for fuel supply. Fortunately, the incident did not block the navigation channel, allowing other vessels to continue their journeys. Following the successful salvage operation, the 'Abyo Angelino' anchored safely on the roads of General Lagos for inspections on September 20 at 12:30 AM.
