Star City cargo vessel refloated after grounding in Vietnam bay

The Vietnam-flagged general cargo vessel Star City ran aground on 12 September in Chân Mây Bay after drifting onto a sandbar 1.3 nautical miles from the navigation channel. All 17 crew were safe with no pollution reported. Two tugboats, Chan May 2 and Quang Da, successfully refloated the 150-meter-long vessel, which was carrying 22 tonnes of diesel and 225 tonnes of fuel oil. The vessel was towed to Chan May Anchorage for inspection before resuming its voyage.
