Live tracking and data notes
The live ship tracker on this page provides a map-based AIS view for MSC SILVANA VIII through the configured external tracking provider. AIS information can be delayed, incomplete or temporarily unavailable because reception and provider coverage vary by area and vessel. The map is intended for general vessel discovery and position context and must not be used for navigation or safety-critical decisions.
Additional profile sections appear only when suitable source records are available, including ownership and management, engine or classification information, surveys, inspections, casualties, and sale or demolition events. Missing fields are not filled with invented values, so some modules may be absent when the underlying data snapshot does not contain sufficient evidence. The profile is compiled from controlled source records maintained for Ship-Tracker.org and may change as newer verified data becomes available.

Casualties & incidents
The three most recent recorded casualty or incident events are shown below.
Containership MSC Silvana VIII has sunk in the Zhoushan area of China after progressive flooding following its grounding on 11 July, shortly after leaving a ship repair yard. It had been at the repair yard since 22 June and had difficulty navigating during Typhoon Bavi, leading to its grounding. Despite multiple refloating attempts, the vessel remained aground and took on water, flooding areas such as the engine room and cargo holds. By early August, significant portions of its hull were submerged. Although 3,000 tonnes of fuel have been removed to aid recovery efforts, the forecast of Typhoon Dolphin is expected to further hinder these efforts.
