Reviews & Ratings for the Star-Eva

On January 12, 2013, the bulk carrier 'Marcos Dias' departed from the anchorage in Santos, setting a course for Rio de Janeiro's Ilha da Conceicao. The vessel successfully docked at its destination on January 13 at 11:30 a.m. This follows a collision with the Turkish cargo ship 'ABML Eva' (IMO: 9070565) that occurred on December 31, 2012, at 6:30 p.m. The mishap was attributed to a loss of propulsion experienced by the 'Marcos Dias'. The ship was returning from a loading operation at cradle terminal 5 in Usiminas, where it had been transporting 40,000 tons of iron ore originating from Rio de Janeiro. Despite efforts to anchor, the 'Marcos Dias' drifted and collided with the 'ABML Eva', resulting in damage to the vessel's port side foreship. Furthermore, the incident caused the P4 Portainer at Libra Terminals’ warehouse 37 to be displaced, along with damage to the quay's fendering. The release of the 'Marcos Dias' was initially held up pending a thorough investigation. Meanwhile, the 'ABML Eva' was cleared to leave Santos on January 13.
