A general cargoship that capsized in the English Channel last week after colliding with a fishing vessel was taken under tow, according to authorities.
France's Maritime Prefect for the English Channel and North Sea reported that rescue tug RIAS Abeille Liberte was deployed to tow the 2,300-dwt Britannica Hav (built 1985) after the rescue agency suggested a "special method" of towing to free the channel of the wreckage.
