Hello,

Does someone have informations about the collision which occured off Ushant Island this morning (02 aug 2005) between two merchant vessels, names and circumstances ?
Thanks

the BBC news website has the vessels as "Sierra Express" and "Dogger".

Sounds like Hapag Lloyd are in the wars at the moment, if that's their Sierra Express, what with the Savannah Express/Bergen Castle "fender bender" in Southampton a couple of weeks ago!

According to Fairplay Daily News, both the Sierra Express and Dogger have arrived at Falmouth for inspection and repairs. The Dogger is at berth, whilst the Sierra express is "anchored outside the bay" (Presume Carrick Roads?) due to draught restrictions.

Hope this is of interest

Ken Smith posted some shots of Sierra Express leaving London a few days ago.
