In the morning of Sep 9 a fire broke out aboard the Panama flagged container m/v 'MSC Katrina' (IMO:9467445), en route from Tema to Durban, southwest of Port Elizabeth. The ship was NUC and adrift. The Soutth African salvage tug 'SA Amandla' (IMO:7385215) was deployed from Cape Town to assist. On Sep 10 the ship was under tow of the emergency tug. On scene was severe weather, so that there were doubts whether the convoy would reach Durban on Sep 15, or might have to shelter in the area of Port Elizabeth area.
