Three aground in Ulsan

[Timsen]

The 112 meter long, 4675 dwt freighter Zhou Hang 2, 116 meter long, 11347 dwt tanker CS Crane and the 90 meter long, 3565 dwt tanker Bum Jin 5 had been at an anchorage off Ulsan.  As conditions worsened, the vessels weighed anchor to move further away from shore.  Before the vessels could reach a new anchorage, the winds reached 45 miles per hour and waves rose up to four meters.  The vessels were pushed off course and went ashore.   The Zhou Hang 2 suffered hull damage as it struck an underwater rock formation just offshore.  No reports of injuries to the total crew of 46 men across all three vessels.
