In Brief

NORTH SEA RESCUE

Salvage and towage company, Multraship Salvage BV, and Belgian salvage specialist, URS Salvage & Maritime Contracting, have rescued the general cargo vessel Eva Danielsen after the Bahamas-flagged vessel got into difficulties off the North Hinder traffic separation zone in the North Sea. The vessel’s problems were caused by a total power black-out. The vessel’s owners contracted Multraship and URS under an LOF 2000 agreement to bring the vessel to safety. The weather on site was extremely poor. The Eva Danielsen , which was loaded with about 1,950 tonnes of steel plates and steel bars, was towed to Flushing.
