Corrib gas vessel hits rocks
Sunday, 16 August 2009 10:08

A supply boat involved in supporting the work of the laying of the Corrib gas pipeline went onto rocks on the Co Mayo coast this morning.

The 'Flamingo', a 32m steel-hulled vessel, struck the rocks near Erris Head. Weather conditions were described as poor.
The vessel was towed off some hours later and has been taken to Ballyglass Harbour.
All five people on board the vessel are safe and well.
A spokesman for Shell Ireland said an investigation is under way to establish how the accident occurred.
