The vessel sailed from Shanghai on March 6, 1999 and bound for Rotterdam for discharge the cargo of various minerals on board.
At about 0300L on 26th March 2002, while the 2nd engineer was on duty he heard an abnormal sound of the No 2 generator and after a few seconds smoke was found emitted from the crankcase and the engine was stopped immediately. Upon inspection by the crew,the damages sustained by the no. 2 generator were as follows:
1.Nos.1,2 and 4 main bearing shells were found severely wiped.
2.Nos.3 and 4 crank pin bearing shells were found severely wiped.
3.Nos.3 and 4 crank pins had severely scored.
Although the exact reason for the damages could not be ascertained at the moment, it might be due to water ingress since the oil sump level had increased and water was found leaking from no.2 liner. To repair the generator, the engine must be completely dismantled for renewal of the crankshaft.

注：1、海事声明是在事故发生后，未发现具体损坏项目前，为了保留以后索赔权利时使用的。也用于遇到大风浪后争取免除船方责任，主要是应对收发货人。此项声明必须在船到港后24小时内做出，或者在开舱卸货前起草好海事声明并得到签证。
2、事故报告是在事故（多为机损和货损事故）发生后已造成属于保险范围内具体损失时使用，专门用于对保险公司的报案及索赔用。对于我公司的船舶来说，目前可以按此格式用中文来书写事故报告。
