Lizrix

The 77 meter long tanker Lizrix became disabled in the English Channel between Dover and Calais. The Lizrix was en route to Immingham from St. Helier when it suffered damage to its propulsion system. The crew on board were unable to make repairs and the tanker dropped anchor. Authorities dispatched an emergency tug Abeille Languedoc along with another tug to the scene. The tugs took the Lizrix under tow and proceeded to Dover. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
