Longliner listing in Vigo

On Sep 17, 2024, at 7 a.m. a strong episode of spring tides has caused serious problems in the port of Vigo, where the ‘Siempre Perla’ has suffered a considerable list to starboard side, which has required the intervention of several tugs and emergency teams in dock 4 of the port, opposite the Cepsa supply point. The longliner was in the middle of a diesel bunkering operation at the O Berbés, when a failure in the valve system prevented the fuel from being redistributed to the port side, which led to an imbalance in the weight of the vessel. It touched part of the dock and with the ebb and flow of the tide the inclination increased. The intervention of two tugs, among them the 'Sanmartín', and a shore based crane enabled it to recover its position at midday. An anti-pollution barrier was also deployed to control any possible spillage into the sea.
