Ship abandoned after developing list

The 'Maju88' suffered water ingress on Aug 10, 2024, which caused a severe list. The 1st officer noticed that the vessel was listed towards the starboard side. Promptly, the captain of the vessel instructed to divert the vessel to look for a safe anchorage and check for leakages. The leak was identified in the ballast tank 1 on the starboard side of the vessel's bow. The crew immediately attempted to control the water ingress using Alcon pumps and submersible pumps with no avail. Moreover, the rising waves worsened the ship's condition. On Aug 11 aat around 12:15 a.m. local time, the vessel was listing at 25 degrees. The captain called for assistance from nearby vessels, and shortly after,, the tug 'PU 1605' arrived and evacuated the crew. The 'Maju 88' was in ballast at the time of the incident.
