On 3 April 2010, while transiting from Gladstone, Queensland, to China carrying a cargo of 65,000 tonnes of coal, Shen Neng 1 ran aground {{convert|70|km|nmi}} off Great Keppel Island, Australia, at geographic coordinates {{coord|23|06|06|S|151|38|57|E|region:AU-QLD_type:event|name=2010 Shen Neng 1 Great Barrier Reef oil spill}}. At the time of the grounding, Shen Neng 1 was reported to have been travelling at full speed. She was severely damaged on her port side, and a {{convert|3|km|nmi}} long oil slick was later reported to have been seen. The ship's engine and rudder were damaged in the grounding.{{cite web|url=http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/B725901.htm |title=Stranded ship 'time bomb' to Great Barrier Reef |publisher=Alert Net (Reuters) |date=5 April 2010 |accessdate=5 April 2010}} The ship went aground {{convert|5.8|nmi|km mi|abbr=on}} outside the shipping lane.{{cite news|url=http://www.amsa.gov.au/Marine_Environment_Protection/Shen_Neng_1_Grounding/media/Shen_Neng1_Douglas_Shoal_publics.pdf|title=Grounding of the Ship Shen Neng 1|date=6 April 2010|publisher=Australian Maritime Safety Authority|accessdate=9 April 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110216080134/http://www.amsa.gov.au/Marine_Environment_Protection/Shen_Neng_1_Grounding/media/Shen_Neng1_Douglas_Shoal_publics.pdf|archive-date=16 February 2011|url-status=dead}} It is in a restricted area which forms part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, a World Heritage Site designated by UNESCO.
As a result of the grounding, the fuel tanks of the vessel were punctured, allowing fuel oil to leak from the vessel. It was feared that the ship might break in two.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8602400.stm |title=Great Barrier Reef oil disaster fear from stricken ship |publisher=BBC News Online |accessdate=4 April 2010 | date=4 April 2010}} 2,000 litres of the chemical dispersant Corexit 9527 was applied to the oil slick.{{Cite news|url = http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8711153|title = Crude solution|last = Townsend|first = Jo|date = 2013-08-23|accessdate = 2014-12-06|publisher = 60 Minutes|url-status = dead|archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20141208124013/http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8711153|archivedate = 2014-12-08}}
A salvage contract was awarded to Svitzer, led by Jan Polderman SVITZER Salvage B.V. and Drew Shannon of SVITZER Salvage Australia, who co-ordinated the salvage response. Salvage engineers from Australia and marine surveyors assisted stabilise the vessel, coordinate resources and provide expert advice to salvage masters acting at the time. Shen Neng 1 was refloated on 12 April 2010, after forecasts of bad weather meant that the salvage operation was brought forward. There were reports that large areas of the coral reef were damaged by the ship.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8616880.stm |title=China ship 'seriously damaged' Great Barrier Reef |first=Nick |last=Bryant |publisher=BBC News, Sydney |accessdate=13 April 2010 | date=13 April 2010}} On 14 April, the captain and officer on watch at the time of the accident were arrested.

=Investigation=
Two investigations have been opened into the grounding. The investigations are being conducted by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB). Queensland Premier Anna Bligh said that the Government would be investigating why the ship was so far off route. It was reported that the ship's owner could be fined $1,000,000 and Shen Neng 1's captain $220,000.
The ATSB despatched three investigators to Gladstone, Queensland, on 4 April to collect evidence and conduct interviews. On 6 April they boarded the ship to interview the crew members and collect further evidence. The preliminary phase of the investigation was scheduled to take 28 days. A casualty co-ordinator from the AMSA boarded the ship. Three vessels were reported as giving assistance at the scene.{{cite web |url=http://www.atsb.gov.au/newsroom/2010/201008.aspx |title=ATSB investigates bulk carrier grounding |publisher=Australian Transport Safety Bureau |accessdate=6 April 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100411060229/http://www.atsb.gov.au/newsroom/2010/201008.aspx |archive-date=11 April 2010 |url-status=dead }} The preliminary investigation has found fatigue as the major contributor to the grounding. Prior to the grounding, there were no checks to ensure fatigue was minimised by the governing authorities (AMSA).{{cite web|url=http://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/2010/mair/274-mo-2010-003.aspx | title=Marine Safety Investigation Report - Preliminary | publisher=Australian Transport Safety Bureau |accessdate=3 May 2010}} A news story claimed that the ship was attempting to take a shortcut when it ran aground.{{cite web|url=https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5iCK8ti4amTV6npQcBjzJndaGly8Q |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103000955/http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5iCK8ti4amTV6npQcBjzJndaGly8Q |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 3, 2013 |title=Ancient species discovered in Barrier Reef depths | publisher=AFP |accessdate=15 July 2010}}
