Tug and barge grounded at Tok Kederat
The "MCL Power 111" and a barge it was towing from Thailand to Johor ran aground at the Tok Kederat beach in the early morning of Jan 24, 2017. The convoy was scheduled to arrive at Tanjung Belungkor in Johor on Jan 25 after having left Thailand on Jan 18. The barge, which was carrying 5,800 tonnes of limestone and eight crew members and its tug beached at about 4 a.m. The vessels were hit by huge waves about 10 nautical miles from Bachok waters. The tow rope got entangled in the tug's propeller. Help had been sought from the scuba unit of the Kelantan Fire and Rescue Department to cut the rope. Then efforts would be made to move the vessels out to sea to continue the journey to Johor. Malyasian report with photo: http://www.bharian.com.my/node/239266
