Narrative
On 2018-03-24, Laura Maersk and MSC Shuba B collided while manoeuvring in the Port of Callao, Peru. Splash 247 reported that MSC Shuba B was an 11,000 TEU containership owned by Seaspan, while Laura Maersk had a capacity of 4,258 TEU. During the harbour manoeuvre, the bow of Laura Maersk glanced MSC Shuba B.
The article characterised the damage as minimal and reported that both vessels departed the port the following day. It did not specify the extent of physical damage to either vessel, whether any people were injured, whether cargo or pollution was affected, or the manoeuvring arrangements that preceded the contact. No official findings are identified in the available Splash report. The account therefore does not establish contributing factors or assign responsibility for the collision.
