BBC Adriatic docked in Varna
The "BBC Adriatic" has left the coastal region off Kumkoy and reached the anchorage of Varna on Dec 6 at 1.50 p.m. and entered the port about 1,5 hours later where it actually remains.
Distressed vessel reached deeper waters
The "BBC Adriatic" managed to change position in the night of Dec 5, odin.tc reports, and assumingly managed to move from the coastal shallows to deeper waters. As of morning Dec 5 it was anchored about two miles off coast, waiting for the weather to improve.
BBC Adriatic too weak to cope with storm force
The "BBC Adriatic" struggled for hours to keep off the coast of Kumkoy on Dec 4, 2012. The ship had moored the evening before and started to drift at 9 a.m. in waves of seven metres height after the anchor chains broke. The engine was unable to cope with the storm force. The Coast Guard, Civil Defence and the police attended. The unloaded ship which was pounded by the surf had a crew of 14 on board.
