On August 3, 2026, the Maltese-flagged container ship 'MV CNC Uranus' ran aground and collided with a red buoy and a retaining wall near the Naval Academy at the mouth of the Karnaphuli River in the Chittagong port channel due to a mechanical steering failure. A joint 12-hour rescue operation involving the Bangladesh Navy, Coast Guard, and Chittagong Port Authority using seven tugboats successfully freed the vessel. The Port Authority subsequently fined the ship's local agent, APL (Bangladesh) Pvt Ltd, 11.5 million BDT (10 million fine plus 1.5 million VAT) for failing to disclose the known steering defect prior to entry.
