Dredger grounded at Burghead
The "Selkie", tasked with the specific job of clearing the entrances to Moray harbours has become stranded on a sandbank in Burghead on May 22, 2018. The crew of the 240-tonne dredger was forced to dump silt gathered in the bay overboard in order to lighten the vessel so it could float off again. It was the latest blow to rock the "Selkie" after its deployment was questioned, following confirmation the vessel only dredged for 71 days between January and the end of November 2017 and remained berthed for months. The vessel was not damaged during the unintentional grounding which occurred in aiming to maximise the quantity dredged from the harbour entrance before the tide dropped too much. But the dredger touched some ridges on the sandbank on its way out to the dump site over high water.
