[Regnum] The Iranian dry cargo ship Caspian Shiva ran aground 7 km from the Makhachkala commercial port. The press service of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations for the Republic of Dagestan reported this on January 29.
"The vessel Caspian Shiva, anchored at the Makhachkala seaport, is experiencing a water leak. Water is leaking from the ballast tank into the hold," the agency said in a statement on its website.
The rescue operation was suspended at the request of the vessel's captain due to waves exceeding 1.5 meters in height. Pumps have been delivered to the bulk carrier to pump out the water, and the crew has begun work and is awaiting improved weather conditions. Two tugboats from Rosmorport, the FLAGMAN and the FAVARIT, are being used to tow the bulk carrier.
