The grounding of a CoscoCS-owned containership occurred in an area that is known to be difficult to navigate, a reenactment of the incident shows.
The 14,074-teu CSCL Jupiter (built 2011) left the DP World-owned Antwerp Gateway terminal at approximately 0600 hours UTC (Co-ordinated Universal Time) on Monday, according to data provided by Genscape Vesseltracker.
The vessel then proceeded up the Scheldt river en-route to Hamburg, when it attempted to manoeuvre into the western estuary leading to the North Sea.
