MIRA was shifting berths, strayed off fairway and struck anchored cargo ship. MIRA didn’t sustain damages and was safely berthed afterwards. MIRA arrived at Reni from Istanbul in early Apr.
HENIA sustained starboard hull breach with water ingress, port tug pushed her to river bank shallows to avoid sinking, across Danube in front of Reni.
