Scot Bay
On the morning of November 10, the 91 meter long, 3154 dwt cargo vessel Scot Bay (IMO: 9243930) ran aground on the River Teign near Teignmouth, England. The vessel got stuck trying to enter the port from a voyage from IJmuiden on the ebb tide. The Scot Bay sustained a slight list to starboard, but no reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
Reports state the Scot Bay remained aground until the evening. Aided by the high tide, tugs were able to pull the cargo vessel free. Reports state the Scot Bay had been at anchor for several days before attempting to enter the harbour with its cargo of animal feed. The Marine Accident Investigation Branch has started an investigation into the incident.
