Minka C
The 98 meter long cargo vessel Minka C. became disabled off A Coruña, Spain. The Minka C. was en route to Brens from Szczecin with a cargo of 4000 tons of coal when it suffered engine failure in stormy seas. The Minka C. requested assistance as the crew were unable to restart the engines.
The authorities dispatched a tug from Bilbao which arrived on the scene a few hours later. The tug took the Minka C. under tow and proceeded to A Coruña. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
