Drifting container vessel cuts moorings of OOCL Hong Kong
Heroic efforts by tug boat operators and ship pilots averted major damage to Sydney's commercial port on Tuesday (Oct. 14) night, after the super storm that hit the city snapped the mooring lines of a 67,000-tonne container vessel, causing it to collide with another ship and shear the mooring lines of a third vessel.The drifting 'Kiel Express' cut the mooring of the OOCL Hong Kong, sending it free. Another tug boat became disabled when its propellers snagged on a mooring line cut loose on the Hong Kong vessel. That ship had to be anchored away from the docks but could not be taken further out to sea because its containers had not been fully secured after its unloading operations were halted before the storm. It's understood that the OOCL Hong Kong is undergoing repairs after its stern was punctured by the bollards on the wharf as the vessel swung out after its mooring was cut.
