CS Crane among three grounded ships off Ulsan
The "Zhou Hang 2" along with the 11347 dwt tanker "CS Crane" and the 3565 dwt tanker "Bum Jin 5" which all were at an anchorage off Ulsan, were blown ashore in gale force winds in the night of Nov 25, 2013. As conditions worsened, the vessels weighed anchor to move further away from shore. Before the vessels could reach a new anchorage, the winds reached 45 miles per hour and waves rose up to four meters. The vessels were pushed off course and went ashore. The "Zhou Hang 2", which had been at the E-1 anchorage off Ulsan had weighed anchor and tried to move away from shore. It was pushed off course by very strong winds which caused the ship to hit an underwater rock formation about 320 meters from land at around 1:47 a.m. The vessel suffered hull damage as it struck the rock formation. There were no reports of injuries to the total crew of 46 men aboard all three vessels. The South Korean Coast Guard responded and was able to rescue 11 crew off the "CS Crane" which grounded at 2.30 a.m. and the "Bum Jin No. 5" at 3.55 a.m. Weather alerts had been issued by authorities the day before. All the ships were grounded because they were unsuccessful in moving to a new anchorage further out to sea. At the time of the accidents, gusts of wind reached up to 20 meters per second, with waves rising to four meters. Report with photos: http://english.cri.cn/11354/2013/11/25/3123s800374.htm
