And thank you very much to Guillermo Raymondi from Chile for the information:

The Ikan Tanda set sail from the Port of Tocopilla, Chile, with a full cargo of Nitrate, her destination were the Ports of Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, South Africa, the Main Engine failed in the middle of a storm and got stranded near the coast, she was refloateda towed to a dry dock on Cape Town, where the South African Authority ordered her sinking, because her hull was totally broken or the reparation could be exceeded the 75% of the value of the ship.

Guillermo Raymondi made the last inspection to the hatches of the ship in Tocopilla, on August all her hatches were found in a perfect condition to transport the cargo.
