On Nov 11, 2019, at dawn the 'Hamada S' with a crew of 11 on board, among them seven Indians, two Syrians and two Egyptians, ran aground in the Bizerte Governorate near Errimel at the the Rimal beach. The ship had been broken down off Bizerte two days ago, but the local authorities denied access to the port and requested the ship to accept tug assistance. The captain refused to pay for the towing services after lengthy negotiations before the ropes broke due to bad weather on Dec 10.
The ship had arrived from Algeria and was bound to a repair yard in Menzel Bourguiba but was prevented from crossing the canal by bad weather. The stormy seas had brought it stepwise closer to the coast. The civil protection and the Maritime Guard as well as the regional authorities represented by the governor of the region arrived at the scene.

Tunisian Government informed us that the ship's crew members had been repatriated since January 6th 2020.
