An 82-metre general cargoship capsized in the English Channel Tuesday after colliding with a fishing vessel.
The 2,300-dwt Britannica Hav (built 1985) is turned over and still adrift as a result of the impact with the Belgian-flagged Deborah, according to France’s Maritime Prefect.
The ship is owned by Norway’s Hav Shipping, according to VesselsValue.
The Maritime Prefect said it was alerted of the accident at around 1540 by the Regional Operational Center for Surveillance and Rescue (CROSS) of Jobourg, France.
