contents We prove a tropical analogue of Cartan's second main theorem for holomorphic curves intersecting hyperplanes in general position--a setting that was not fully resolved by previous tropical Nevanlinna theory. Two versions are obtained. The first (Theorem 1.7) requires subnormal growth and involves the tropical Casorati determinant. The second and main version (Theorem 1.9) is completely free of growth conditions and exceptional sets; it replaces the Casorati term by the sum of the counting functions of the curve's components, yielding an inequality valid for every r. The proof uses a tropical Cramer theorem, bypassing the logarithmic derivative lemma. This improves upon previous results by Korhonen-Tohge and Cao-Zheng, where the coefficient could be suboptimal even under the general position hypothesis. We also clarify the relation between different notions of linear independence, and present the first counterexample to the truncated second main theorem in the tropical setting (Example 5.4).
