The 4,795TEU container ship Basht has collided with a dredger and contacted a pier at Shahid Rajaei port, Bandar Abbas, Iran in the last week.
According to the Maritime Bulletin report, the ship’s bulbous nose was severely damaged and there is a breach in its bow stern above the waterline.
A possible engine failure could cause the accident of the Iranian container vessel, but it is not confirmed at the time of writing.
The 2008-built boxship, which departed the Port of Kandla in India to call at the Shahid Rajaei port, has been moved to Bandar Abbas anchorage.
