MV Thor Commander under tow at Aussie

The Antigua and Barbuda flagged 9,739-dwt MV Thor Commander (built 2011) reported on Sunday night that it had damaged its main engine.
MV Thor Commander was drifting north-east of Perkins Reef and north of Elusive Reef in the Swains Reefs group, about 379km north-east of Gladstone when it was disabled. On Tuesday morning, a towline was established between the disabled vessel and the tug Smit Leopard from Gladstone. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said the MV Thor Commander is due to arrive in Gladstone later this week.
MV Thor Commander is currently operated by Thorco Shipping and is owned by Germany’s Held Reederei.
