The Navy stated in a note that the São Luiz ship, which collided with the Rio-Niterói bridge, is the subject of a legal proceeding. Those responsible for the vessel are awaiting the court’s decision to determine its fate, and therefore it has been docked in Guanabara Bay since 2016.

According to the maritime authority, an investigation will be carried out as soon as possible to establish what caused the incident and who will be held responsible for it.

In the same statement, the Navy confirmed that the São Luiz vessel posed no danger to navigation and that the extreme weather conditions were responsible for the failure of the mooring that held it.

Legal Proceedings Involving the São Luiz Ship

The bulk carrier São Luiz has been stationary for 6 years due to a case pending in the Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro. The abandoned vessel was owned by the defunct company Navegações Mansur, which previously owned more than 11 ships.

When it entered bankruptcy proceedings, the company that owned the ship had already disposed of almost all its assets, leaving only the São Luiz, which became disputed with BNDES, the company’s creditor. Indústrias Reunidas Caneco S.A. was the recipient of the funds that Navegações Mansur had borrowed from BNDES.

Indústrias Reunidas Caneco S.A then used the funds for a purpose other than that specified in the contract, which was the construction of another vessel, thus committing an offense defined in Article 20 of Law 7.492/96.

The bank, on the other hand, exaggerates the debt update and does not acknowledge that most of it has already been settled with the delivery of another ship, according to information from a person linked to the heirs of Navegações Mansur to Coluna Gilson Monteiro.

After Detailed Inspection, the Rio-Niterói Bridge Is Once Again Open to Traffic in Its Entirety

On Tuesday, around 10:50 AM, the Rio-Niterói Bridge was fully reopened to traffic. Since a ship collided with the bridge on Monday, the lanes were closed for safety, reopening partially three hours later.

The inspection carried out on the bridge’s structure revealed, according to the concessionaire Ecoponte, that the collision between the ship and the roadway did not compromise its structure.

After the completion of minor repairs, the bridge was opened towards Rio de Janeiro, making it fully accessible again. At the time of the reopening, traffic was flowing smoothly in both directions.
