Abstract

During final preparations for completion of loading and departure, with a coastal pilot on board, a period of prolonged strong south-easterly winds (force 7 to 8- 28 to 40 knots) and an intensifying north-easterly current was encountered. A total of four ship's mooring lines parted and the ship was not able to be kept alongside. The ship moved clear of the wharf, the anchor was raised and the ship under way without further incident. 20/05/2015 MA201500071 0:18 UTC+8 N
