The Inland tanker Therese Straub arrives in Brest towed by the salvage tug Abeille Bourbon.
Originally towed from the Netherlands to Ivory Coast by the Moldavian flagged tug Arion, it broke in two parts in the northwest of Ushant island.
Having not seen anything, the tug went on.
It was the container ship Saphir that reported the half-ship drifting at the french MRCC Corsen, thus making it possible to stop a danger to navigation.
The tug Arion continued south.
