Car carrier aground off English Coast
A 100-meter long car carrier City of Sunderland, early this morning ran aground on a sand bank eight miles off the East Coast of England between Cromer and Great Yarmouth.
The 9,576-ton ship was carrying 642 cars from Zeebrugge in Belgium to Teesport in the North of England when it got stuck at the south edge of Haisborough Sands.
The Isle of Man registered vessel has no apparent damage nor injuries to its 13 crewmembers. Yarmouth Coastguard said it hopes to refloat the vessel on the next high tide, which was about 11-11.30 a.m. local time, when two tugs will arrive from Felixstowe.
