Another vessel aground
The trawler 'Diomed' lies stranded on the beach near Banga Nek
YET another maritime incident has occurred on Zululand shores.
iSimangaliso Wetland Park reported on Sunday that a trawler had been stranded about 15 kms south of the Mozambique border.
Very little information is available at this stage, other than that it is a Cypriot–owned ship named 'Diomed'.
It appears the trawler may have run out of fuel.
Park officials have been dispatched to the site to conduct a rapid environmental impact assessment, and various other agencies have been informed of this incident.
None of the crew on board the vessel were injured and preparations are underway to salvage the vessel.
This follows on from the two large barges that were stranded on the beach 12kms north of Cape Vidal on Thursday.
