Ship aground, cargo adrift
After the 15 crew members of the "Alfa" were safely rescued by the Korean Coast Guard, the abandoned ship drifted into shallow waters and ran aground in position 33 54N 128 01E, 54 miles south-south-east from Yeosu. The lost timber was drifting in the sea, thereby posing a threat to shipping in the area.
Crew evacuated as timber slides off listing Russian ship
The crew of a listing Russian general cargo ship have been evacuated. The Alfa issued a distress signal yesterday afternoon off Yeosu in South Korea. The ship, owned by Nakhodka-headquartered LANS, was en route to China when it ran into difficulty, shedding a large cargo of timber. The Korean Coast Guard has warned fishing vessels in the area to be wary of the floating timber. The ship has since listed and is now aground to the southeast of Yeosu. http://splash247.com/crew-evacuated-timber-slides-off-listing-russian-ship/
