UPDATE: It looks like BBC ZARATE was anchored, while carrying out cargo operations, with No.1 Hold open. The passenger ship lost control or miscalculated her movements, and rammed into BBC ZARATE bow.

General cargo ship BBC ZARATE in the morning Feb 15 collided with local passenger ship MEN DEL NORTE 2 on the Amazon River near Iquitos, Belen district, Peru. BBC ZARATE struck passenger ship portside near midship section, inflicting heavy damages and practically, cutting MEN DEL NORTE 2 in two. Luckily, all passengers on board were rescued, and no injuries were reported. It seems like BBC ZARATE remained stuck in MEN DEL NORTE 2. BBC ZARATE was in Iquitos since Feb 12.
