Troubled Serine Ship Towed away from Croatia’s Unije Island
March 30th, 2008
Zagreb, March 30 (CP) – The Serine vessel, which ran aground on the Unije island, has been towed away by a Croatian towing service to the port of Sibenik and will then be taken to the Brodotrogir shipyard where it will be fixed.
The 82-meter-long vessel sailing under a Sierra Leone flag which had set off from the Croatian port of Rijeka for Algiers carrying freight loaded on in Rijeka has run aground on January 22.
Most of the freight had been unloaded while the ship was still at Unije, mostly wooden planks.
There had been fears of spillage from the vessels causing pollution, but luckily this did not happen.
