Container ship Maersk Garonne was taken to anchor in Gage Roads after running aground off South Mole, Fremantle Port on Saturday morning (28 February).

After an initial inspection by divers found no significant damage, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) gave approval for the ship to be moved.

The ship was moved to Berth 8 on North Quay late Sunday afternoon (1 March) for cargo unloading and departed from Fremantle Inner Harbour for Melbourne at 11am today (3 March).

The incident is being investigated by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB).
