Lunna II Santarém shipwreck Brazilian Navy cargo barge

The Lunna II barge, which was transporting cargo between Manaus and Belém, sank near the Porto dos Milagres in Santarém, Pará, on Monday morning. The vessel was part of a convoy led by the pusher Coronel Heitor.

The cargo included new motorcycles, trucks, trailers, pickup trucks, and containers filled with electronic products. While there was significant material damage, the Brazilian Navy's Santarém Fluvial Captaincy reported that there were no deaths or injuries. Additionally, no signs of environmental pollution were observed at the site.

The Santarém Fluvial Captaincy has launched an Administrative Inquiry into Navigation Accidents and Facts (IAFN) to investigate the causes and circumstances of the shipwreck.
