Well, not much more... She was in a convoy led by the Russian icebreaker KAPITAN SOROKIN near the lighthouse of Vaindloo, in the Estonian territorial waters. The RUNNER-4 got stuck in ice (despite the iceabreaker) and the general cargo SVYATITEL APOSTOL ANDREY (IMO 9247601) which was behind the Runner-4 couldn't stop fast enough and so they collided. The Runner-4 was carrying aluminium and had a crew of 14, all of which were rescued.
