Terry

The 146 meter long, 15441 dwt tanker Terry went aground near Kastrup, Denmark.  The tanker was proceeding in ballast from Histshals to Riga when it struck a sandbank.   A lifeboat from Kastrup was dispatched along with vessels from the Danish Navy.  The master of the Terry tested positive for alcohol and was arrested.  The investigation found the vessel struck the sandbank at full speed of 11 knots resulting with the bow of the vessel being lifted a meter into the air.   No reports of injuries or pollution being released.  Divers were requested to inspect the hull for any damage.  Reports state the tanker will be later refloated by a tug.
