A Cosco Shipping Energy Transportation VLCC arrived safely in Durban while under tow, more than a week after coming dangerously close to drifting ashore off a treacherous stretch of South African coastline.
The 308,600-dwt Yuan Hua Hu (built 2015) and its accompanying tugs entered Durban’s Port Natal late Tuesday morning.
VLCCs are a rare sight at South Africa’s largest port due to the 16 metre depth within the harbour.
