The 118 meter long, 8250 dwt containter ship Celia and the 9742 dwt freighter BSLE Sunrise went aground near Valencia, Spain.   Both vessels had been at anchor when  a strong storm struck causing the anchors to drag until both ships were on the beach.    No reports of damage,  injuries or pollution released.    Several tugs were on scene to pull the vessels off the beach.  Reports state  initial attempts to refloat the vessels were unsuccessful.
