Dry Beam

Dry Beam

The 186 meter long, 46619 dwt bulk freighter Dry Beam became disabled in bad weather off Pudget Sound, Washington.   The freighter had lost stability in the storm that had 10 meter high waves.  The vessel send out a distress call requesting assistance.   The Coast Guard dispatched an icebreaker to the scene.   However, the crew was able to regain control of the vessel and turned the vessel aground back to Victoria, Canada.   No reports of injuries.  Photos of the vessel show some storm damage and most likely some cargo was lost overboard.   The Dry Beam had been en route to Japan with a cargo of logs before the  incident.
