The attached news story follows m/v Wunma, a purpose built self-discharging mini-bulker which has been abandoned in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland AUS.
Wunma is operated by Zinifex, managed by Inco Ship Management. She operates as a feeder vessel from Karumba, loading bulk carriers. The vessel lost her hatch covers during a surprise tropical cyclone which formed in the Gulf.
All 10 crew members were rescued by helicopter. The vessel at last report is afloat, listing and flooded.
Copy/paste the huperlink to bring up a story and photo of Wunma with helicopter winching off her crew.
