Roxy Lady

The 31 meter long fishing vessel S 250 Roxy Lady went aground near the Skagen West Lighthouse, Denmark.  The trawler had run ashore in bad weather, but did not sustain any damage. The Skagen Rescue Station dispatched a lifeboat to the scene and rescued the three crew on board the trawler.   No reports of injuries or pollution released.   Attempts to refloat the Roxy Lady will be done on the next high tide.

The 31 meter long, 70 dwt reefer Vest (reported as West in some reports) sank in the Okhotsk Sea.   The vessel sent out a distress call before the crew of eight on board abandoned ship into the life raft.  The cause of the sinking is not yet known.   The Vest was last surveyed in 2011.  No further details reported.
