Dramatic images of the Hong Kong-flagged bulk carrier MV Ocean Breeze which ran aground yesterday on Llo-Lleo’s beach, near the port of San Antonio, Chile. Chilean Navy helicopters rescued the crew of 24 yesterday, most of them Filipino nationals.

The vessel carries a cargo of wheat and soy beans. Images submitted to us by gCaptain contributor, Captain Eric Omar RodrÃguez Aracena.
