Shipwrecks of the British Isles

The 89 meter long cargo vessel Schokland became disabled off the Orkney Islands. The Schokland, loaded with wind turbine parts, was passing the island of Hoy when it suffered a power blackout after its main engine failed.  A tug was dispatched and towed the Schokland to Pentland Firth.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
