The LEOPOLD LD, a capesize bulk carrier launched in 2014 by Tianjin Xingang Shipbuilding Heavy Industries, encountered a significant setback on its inaugural journey. The vessel made a grand entry into Richards Bay on May 1, 2014, receiving warm welcomes from local port authorities, as noted by the Zululand Observer. Loaded with over 165,000 tons of coal, the cargo ship was set to depart for Ashqelon in Israel. However, as it navigated out of the port, the LEOPOLD LD ran aground near Naval Island. Just three minutes after experiencing difficulties, the ship came to a halt, with its bow firmly lodged in shallower waters at the southern end of the channel.
