The ship 'Celia' seen here beached near the entrance to the port of Valencia (on the beach of El Saler), in a photo taken last October 22.

This vessel was stranded on that beach on September 28, in a heavy storm while at anchor waiting to enter Valencia. Her cargo were only empty containers. Two days later of this photo, the 'Celia' could be refloated by the spanish tug 'Punta Mayor' (IMO 8305066), thanks to the work of the dredges 'Los Olivillos' and 'La Isleta'.

The ship 'BSLE Sunrise' (IMO 9017628) had the same bad luck with that storm and ended up stranded just meters from 'Celia'.
