A SECOND vessel contracted to haul iron ore for Brazilian miner Vale SA was delayed for repairs following the loss of a similar ship that mysteriously sank en route to China leaving 22 people presumed dead.
The Stellar Queen departed Vale's port terminal in north-eastern Brazil on May 7 carrying almost 300,000 tonnes of ore, according to the Rio de Janeiro-based company's website.
