The "Svetoslava" ran aground in the Azov port basin on Sep 3, 2015, while trying to avoid the collision with another vessel proceeding ahead of the "Svetoslava" in the same direction. 

The "Svetoslava" had to reduce speed, and was then taken by strong currents and pushed aground. 

The vessel which was loaded with a cargo of grain was en route from Rostov-on-Don towards the Black Sea.
