Shipping News and information / Grounding of the Fedra in Gibraltar
« on: October 10, 2008, 06:57:30 PM »
Yet another grounding in Gibraltar this evening. This afternoon the 35886gt, 1984 built bulk carrier FEDRA (IMO 8208713) lost engine power and started drifting toward the coast on the east side of Gibraltar. Tugs deployed to the area and when i saw her about 0.5 nm from the coast they seemed to have her under control. Unfortunately the stormy weather has worsened and the ship drifted stern first onto the cliffs just below the lighthouse at Europa point and then swerved alongside the cliffs. 30 crew members are still onboard and efforts are underway tonight to take them off the ship.
