Six metres of water in bulker engine room

A Hong Kong-controlled bulker has suffered serious water ingress off Finland.

The country's Border Guard said the 40,000-dwt Glory Hongkong (built 2012) was near Gogland, en route to St Petersburg, when it made an emergency call.

Crew reported six or seven metres of water in the engine room. Pictures show the ship down by the stern.

The crew of 22 was safe and the Border Guard was standing by to evacuate if necessary.
