Working Conditions Aboard the Yangtze-Legend

On June 2, 2023, the bulk carrier 'Yangtze Legend' achieved a significant milestone as it was refloated and safely moored at Alexandria Anchorage following a lightering operation conducted by the cargo vessel 'Ras Sedr' (IMO: 9055163). This recovery effort began at the end of May after 'Yangtze Legend' ran aground on May 23. On the morning of June 3 at 6 a.m., the vessel docked at El Dekheila General Cargo Quay. Notably, throughout the grounding period, maritime traffic in and out of Alexandria/Al Dikheila remained unaffected, ensuring no delays for other vessels. The 'Yangtze Legend,' which arrived at Alexandria Anchorage on May 12 with a cargo of soybeans from Arroyo Seco, is now back on course after this successful operation.

On the evening of March 27, 2017, the bulk carrier 'Yangtze Legend' encountered an incident when it ran aground at kilometer mark 164 on the Paraná River. Fortunately, the vessel was successfully refloated within two hours and continued its journey upriver. The 'Yangtze Legend' then docked at San Nicolas de Los Arroyos, arriving on March 29 at 2:30 a.m., ensuring minimal disruption to its schedule.
