A bulker controlled by Greek shipowner Navios has run aground on a reef off the Maldives in the Indian Ocean.

The 58,735-dwt Navios Amaryllis (built 2009) was sailing from India to South Africa when the incident occurred on Thursday. The Panama-flagged ship has a crew of 19, who are all safe.

Navios Shipmanagement, operators of the Navios Amaryllis, confirmed the casualty in a statement issued to TradeWinds.
