At this time, only two of the ship\u2019s 24 officers and crew have been found alive. Two empty lifeboats and a liferaft, ship\u2019s debris and surface fuel oil are reported to have been found in the vicinity of her last known position. SAR efforts continue with the help of four merchant vessels.<\/p>\n<p>The vessel was carrying iron ore from Brazil to China when it disappeared at about 02.52 GMT, 11.53 local time, on 31 March some 350 nautical north-west off Tristan Da Cunha reportedly under fine weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p>It is understood that liquefaction played a key role in the capsize, investigations are at a very early stage but the suddenness of the disappearance, the lack of survivors and the empty LSAs are typical of liquefaction-induced capsize. Port State Control examinations suggest that the 24-year-old vessel had a fairly clean bill of health with no detentions although\u00a0Chinese PSC authorities identified two deficiencies related to water-tight doors, which investigators will be studying.<\/p>\n<p>Liquefaction is the phenomenon by which, under certain circumstances, a dry bulk cargo typically an ore, and often iron ore fines, behaves like a liquid. When the vessel rolls to one side the liquefied cargo moves to the lower side of the vessel, then lock in place as a mass, producing a list. An opposite roll can re-liquefy the cargo. \u00a0One may have as little as 90 seconds to identify and mitigate the problem before it becomes irrecoverable.<\/p>\n<p>Source: maritimeaccident<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Often, when vessels capsizes, there is not enough time to say \u201cOh, f*&amp;k\u201d.\u00a0Stellar Daisy, a 24-year old Very Large Ore Carrier vanished with minutes of sending a standard daily report.
