Philip V Aground
The 18 meter long, 48 ton trawler Philip V went aground near the mouth of the Waiapu River, Gisborne, New Zealand. The Philip V rests high and dry listing 30 degrees. The trawler will require the assistance of a tug to be refloated on the next high tide. The two crew men were uninjured and no signs of damage to the vessel. Authorities have booms and absorption pads on site in case any fuel spill.
