Two fishermen were lucky to be alive after their fishing boat was hit by the "Zaliv Vostok" off the coast of Suffolk on Feb 8. 2011. The 34ft f/v "Chloe-Paige" was struck on the bow. The fishermen contacted the "Zaliv Vostok" when he saw the danger and were told it would pass safely. But the "Chloe-Paige" was dragged half a mile by its anchor line, before breaking free. The boat's bow railings were damaged but it survived the encounter relatively unscathed. The Yarmouth Coastguard had been contacted about the collision and its enforcement branch had been made aware. Contact has not been made with the tanker but the incident has been added to a pan-Europe database, which informs all ports.
