There were no injuries and no signs of pollution at this time. The crew remained on board the vessel. The Secretary Of State’s Representative for Maritime Salvage and Intervention was aware and monitoring the situation. The cargo vessel went aground at high water and it was likely that an attempt to refloat the vessel will be made at high water next day.
