Official Vietnamese sources and VOV.VN confirm that the Liberian-flagged Capesize bulk carrier Star Bueno (178,978 DWT) ran aground off Quang Ngai Province on October 26 during severe weather.

The vessel, carrying 174,790 tons of iron ore from Saldanha Bay (South Africa) to Dung Quat Port (Vietnam), broke anchor amid strong winds and high waves before drifting ashore.
