In a recent incident reported by Wan Hai Lines, the cargo vessel M/V Wan Hai 506 (voyage 0137N) grounded itself shortly after leaving Hong Kong on December 24, 2015. The ship was en route to Osaka when the grounding occurred, resulting in expected delays for MOL's HS3 service. Fortunately, the vessel has since been refloated and is currently heading to a dry dock in Shekou for urgent repairs. Thankfully, all crew members are safe, and no cargo has been reported damaged.
