OMG. That is one well built ship to handle that kind of sea and survive. Hats off to all that came to her rescue when she lost all power. Excellent stuff all round.

My information is that this occurred via engine room vents and her funnel. Seriously big waves.

How did sea-water get into the engine room?

She took one hell of a battering in a violent north Atlantic storm on 1 February 2014. Seawater flooded her engine room knocking out most electrical systems and she was adrift in heavy seas for about three days before being assisted by the tugs UOS LIBERTY and KESTEL which assisted her to Hunterston where she discharged her cargo of coal.

Engine room and deck repairs will now be effected at Greenock.

Her hull plating looks like it's taken a battering !
