Philip collides with the Lynn Marie
The 10,600 dwt coaster boxship Philipp, formerly the Beluga Meditation, collided with the 17 meter long fishing vessel Lynn Marie off the Isle of Man. While there was little damage to the Philipp, the Lynn Marie suffered water ingress from damage to the port side of the bow. The crew of the Lynn Marie sent out a distress call to the Liverpool Coast Guard which sent out a lifeboat and cutter to the ailing fishing vessel. The rescue vessel provided additional pumps which brought the water ingress under control. The lifeboat took the Lynn Marie under tow back to the harbour at Port St. Mary. Authorities are conducting an investigation into the incident.
