General Cargo Ship On Fire, Crew Evacuated
Greek CG woke up on Nov 13 and blessed us with the news on Togo-flagged general cargo ship fire, which occurred on Nov 11 in Greek waters near Elafonisos islet, southernmost Peloponnese peninsula. Better late than never, I guess. Anyway, the fire occurred on board of general cargo ship AL HANI, not OSCAR I, as it was reported in initial news. Not hard to mistake, though – both ships were ballasting from Libya to Turkey, both are Togo-flagged and owned by Lebanon-based companies, both were in Elafonisos waters at the same time. More to that, OSCAR I turned north and anchored at Marathias anchorage, north of Elafonisos. She resumed her voyage on Nov 12. AL HANI meanwhile, was and still is off radar since late Oct, but understood, while en route, she anchored at Neapoli Voion anchorage, near Elafonisos, for reasons unknown. 14 crew were evacuated, fire reportedly, was extinguished. The ship remained at anchor and judging from fire pic, suffered serious damages – all superstructure looks to be engulfed in fire.
UK Fishing Boat Sank After Collision With Cargo Ship Off Tyne, UK
A UK 9.9-meter fishing boat collided with cargo ship about a mile off Tyne Piers, Tynemouth, UK, North sea, at 1540 UTC Nov 8. Boat was severely damaged and sank, notwithstanding salvage attempts, including towage. 2 crew were rescued, they’re safe. Cargo ship wasn’t identified, it was said only, that it’s a 1700-ton 81-meter ship, which left Blyth port, north of Tyne. According to ships’ tracks’ analysis, it is most probably, general cargo ship TALIS (IMO 9015424), en route from Blyth to Terneuzen, Netherlands. Ship’s track and time coincide with collision site position and time. The ship reduced speed soon after the time of collision, then resumed sailing full speed. Ship’s ID is to be confirmed.
