Cargo ship sheltered in Celeiro after cargo shift
The "Wilson Avonmouth" entered the port of Celeiro (Viveiro) already on Jan 1, 2018, to secure part of the twenty-ton steel coils bound from Newport, UK, to Gemlik. The ship had encountered a storm in which part of the cargo shifted. Though the ship was not heeling, it was decided to seek shelter as the shift could have influenced the stability of the rest of the cargo in adverse conditions. After two days anchored off San Román at the mouth of the Viveiro estuary, the "Wilson Avonmouth" entered the commercial dock of Celeiro on Jan 4. A large crane was hired to get the steel coils repositioned, but diverse circumstances prevented it. On Jan 7 the ship returned to the anchorage off San Román to give quay space in Celeiro for another merchant ship which was scheduled to load quartz. After concluding that operation, the "Wilson Avonmouth" returned to port in the night of Jan 8. On Jan 9, a crane returned to try to secure the cargo. With forecasts of another storm on Jan 10 and 11 the ship left only on Jan 16 to Gemlik. She entered the port on Jan 25 at 11.40 p.m. and sailed again on Jan 26 at 7.40 p.m., bound to Gebze, where she arrived on Jan 30 at 6.30 a.m. and docked at the Kroman Çelik Sanayii A.Ş. https://www.lavozdegalicia.es/noticia/amarina/2018/01/10/mercante-trata-asegurar-celeiro-parte-carga-movieron-temporales/0003_201801X10C5991.htm?utm_source=facebook&%3Butm_medium=referral&%3Butm_campaign=fbmar
