Overview
- EDCG Guarapari was intentionally beached at Praia da Macumba on March 9 for operational reasons and was refloated by late Tuesday, according to the Navy.
- The patrol boat Marlim, sent to support the operation, suffered propulsion failure on Tuesday and grounded near the sand, with removal efforts still in progress.
- Rough seas and rain, with waves forecast up to roughly 3 meters, have repeatedly delayed towing plans as crews prioritize safety and wait for better conditions.
- The fire department is assisting with three jet skis, and earlier attempts saw two additional assisting vessels become stranded; a backhoe used in the sand removal also remains stuck on the beach.
- Inea and the Capitania dos Portos report no signs of oil or environmental damage, and a section of the beach remains monitored and partially isolated as residents look on.
