Bad Luck Frank

The 90 meter long, 3500 dwt freighter Frank W went aground in the Mariager Fjord, Denmark.  The Frank W was departing Mariager for a voyage to Sweden with 3600 tons of salt when the vessel got pulled by the current and went aground.  Authorities have dispatched inspectors to survey for damage while the anti-pollution vessel Mette Miljo has anchored nearby.  Reports state there is no signs of pollution at the scene, but salvage will not begin until the survey is completed.   No reports of injuries.   The Frank W has suffered three incidents in 2011.
