Bulk Carrier Abandoned, Collides With Tanker, Platforms and Towed by Tug in Bad Weather

Maltese flag bulk carrier Julietta D collided with tanker vessel Pechora Star off the coast of Ijmuiden, Netherlands on January 31, 2022 at around 0940H UTC.

Storm Corrie was battering the area. Around the anchorage area are wind farms. This looks like a recipe for collateral damage.

The 37,200 DWT ship was at the anchorage when the wind geared up to more than 70 miles an hour in the North Sea.

Her anchor didn’t managed to hold on and collided with an oil/chem tanker Pechora Star which is also at anchor.
