Grounded d’Amico Bulker refloated

The 37,056 dwt, 2011-built vessel grounded close to Dun Laoghaire, South of Dublin, while enroute to Cork. Now that the procedure to refloat the vessel has taken place, which involved the emptying of the forepeak ballast tank, the vessel is to continue its voyage to anchorage where a full assessment of the hull is to take place later today.

While d’Amico reports that SMIT Salvage were contracted “as a prudent measure”, there appears to be no obvious damage, no pollution and no injuries reported amongst the crew.
