More than three months after she ran aground near São Luis, Brazil, salvors have scuttled the STELLAR BANNER approximately 150km from Maranhão, 20200612.
After removing approximately 145,000 metric tons of iron ore from the vessel’s holds, the enormous vessel was refloated earlier this month. Due to the damage and condition of the ship, the decision was made to sink the vessel in deeper waters with any remaining iron ore on board. #salvage #stellarbanner #scuttle #saoluis #maranhao #brasil #brazil #vessel #ironore #vlcc #300000dwt #captain #sinking #salvor #ore #maritime #deepwater Video Credit: YouTube: Benicio Alves de Oliveira
