Cracked bulkcarrier still under repair off Punta Arenas
The "Loreto" is actually still undergoing emergency hull repairs by the Nautilus company in Punta Arenas. The ship had ran aground at Paso Tortuoso on Dec 31, 2014, underway from the coal pier Mina Invierno in Seno Otway to the port of Huasco in Coquimbo. The bulker struck the Anson rock about 102 nautical miles from Punta Arenas and was towed to the Magellan Strait, arriving under escort of the Chilean Navy in Punta Arenas on Jan 1, 2015. The ship had a list of eight degrees to starboard due to breached and flooded ballast water tanks. It had suffered cracks of various sizes in the hull. It was carrying a cargo of 70.000 tons coal. The emergency repair during which the major leaks were to be sealed was estimated to take two weeks.
