CARGO VESSEL AGROUND AT FORT WILLIAM
Just before midday today Stornoway Coastguard was contacted by the general cargo vessel FRI SEA reporting that they had gone aground during docking manoeuvres at Corpach, close to Fort William. There are no injuries and no signs of pollution at this time. The crew remain on board the vessel.
The Secretary Of State’s Representative for Maritime Salvage and Intervention is aware and is monitoring the situation. The 91 metre cargo vessel went aground at high water and it is likely that an attempt to refloat the vessel will be made at high water on Sunday.
