ALMERIA

The 190 meter long, 57023 dwt bulk freighter Almeria stranded in the Kadet Trench between Nykøbing and Rostock.  The Almeria was fully loaded and was reported to be hard aground.  No reports of injuries, damage  or pollution released.   Authorities have dispatched an anti-pollution vessel to remain at the scene.   Reports state the vessel will require lightering before it can be refloated.   The cause of the grounding was due to human error when a navigation mistake drove the vessel out of the fairway.
