The reason why the Bruvis ran aground

Navigation failure, bad weather, mechanical failure and accidental anchoring.

According to Sohu, the reason why the Panamanian bulk carrier "Bruvis" ran aground on September 19, 2022 was mainly affected by the external circulation and cold air of typhoon "Nanmadu". At that time, the northeast wind was 7-8 and the gust was 9- 10. In addition, the main causes of ship grounding include navigation failure, bad weather, mechanical failure and accidental anchoring. After the incident, after 40 minutes of emergency rescue, all 25 crew members on board were evacuated safely. Due to the grounding incident, the maritime department inspected the ship and did not allow anyone to board the ship again. The ship has been cut off from water and electricity, and all the fuel and other equipment have been unloaded. This is an unexpected accident caused by bad weather conditions, which often causes hull damage and brings severe challenges to shipowners and insurance companies.
