ANGELINA 7703273

Wooden planks lost from the "Sally" in bad weather off the coast of Lowestoft are still floating at sea, about 55 miles east of Lowestoft on Aug 30, 2010, prompting Yarmouth Coastguard to warn leisure boaters about the wood, which could damage small boats. None of the wood has yet washed up on beaches, and Dutch coastguard boats are trying to recover the bundles of wood before they separate. The "Sally" meanwhile is heading towards the Humber, where it is expected to arrive on Sep 1, 2010, so that the rest of its cargo can be shored up. The boat ship heading from Sweden to the UK when it hit gale force winds.

Monday, August 30, 2010 Yarmouth Coastguard have been warning leisure boaters and regular marine traffic to a significant amount of lost cargo from the 79 metre Norwegian registered vessel Sally in heavy seas off the east coast of the UK. The cargo loss is about 55 miles due east of Lowestoft and the vessel was travelling from Sweden to the UK. The vessel has a crew of 6 on board. The lost cargo, 20 bundles of timber, approximately 3 tonnes per bundle of wooden planks, measuring 1 m x 3m were stowed on deck. After the vessel hove to, the crew attempted to secure the shifting cargo but the weather was too bad to allow the crew back on deck and the lashings broke allowing the cargo to go overboard. The vessel will be bound for Shoreham once the weather abates and marine surveyors from the MCAs Southampton office have been alerted to the ships imminent arrival.
