# Incident Video: Bulk Carrier Crashes Into Dock at Argentine Grain Hub

> The bulk carrier Ocean Treasure collided with Terminal 6 North Pier at Rosario on Argentina's Parana River on April 24, 2018 while berthing. Part of the elevator collapsed and the north dock suffered serious damage, slowing activity at the terminal. The ship was due to load about 24,000 tonnes of soymeal and corn bound for Saudi Arabia and China-linked buyers.
