Napoli - salvage - progress?

[Twister_Ken]

Any news of how much/little progress is being made getting the boxes off of Napoli?

Mainstream media seems to have dropped the story.

See the local paper is covering it.

Strange that the Yorkshire Post should be a leader here ?

Saw the bit about the collision on the local news last night. Now don't get me wrong, I have a lot of time for fishermen, but they're bu**ers for not keeping a proper lookout! I regularly had to send a standby boat to intercept fishing boats when I was towing rigs.

Hmm don't jump to conclusions, I know that fishing boat and the family that crew and own it, they've operated for decades out of Lyme with no previous problems. Whose fault it was I don't know and I doubt whether you do either.

No I don't but, with all due respect, I know as an ex pro seafarer that you can tell a lot from what part of the vessels are damaged. The stem of the fishing boat is set right back which suggests that the fishermen T-boned the barge good and proper. If you're gonna have a prang make sure your damage is on your port side!
