161,000-dwt New Mykonos (built 1997) has sunk months after grounding off the southern tip of Madagascar. It broke in two last month and became almost totally submerged last week, with just its wheelhouse and smokestack visible above the water. It has 160,000 tons of coal on board, although a small portion has spilled into the sea. The vessel is now lying in 25 metres of water. The capesize bulker was carrying a cargo of coal from Richards Bay, South Africa, to Visakhapatnam, India.
