Convoy sheltering in A Coruña
The tug 'VB Hispania', which had started towing the 'Christine' from Guinea Conakry to Bremerhaven for repairs on Oct 10, 2020, was forced to make a stopover in the port of A Coruña due to a storm on Nov 1 at 7.30 p.m. Due to the adverse weather conditions, the convoy already had to seek shelter in the port of Setúbal from oct 25 to Oct 29. As the 'Christine' was in ballast, the convoy had to sail very slowly, not only for the ship but also for the crew.
