The grounded Polaris Shipping VLOC Stellar Banner has been refloated off Brazil.

The Brazilian navy said the operation carried out by salvors Smit and Ardent was completed on Wednesday.

After refloating by tugs, the giant 301,000-dwt bulker (built 2016) was towed to an area of deeper waters, about 60 miles from the coast of Maranhao.
