Thanks -- the joys of putting out a fire on a ship .

According the local BBC TV news report, Tony O'Neil said that there was 20 tonnes of water in the ship which needed to be pumped out after the fire service put the fire out. This was causing the list. Previous Message
Freddie - thanks for the link.
What a mess and sickening to think it was suspected arson.
Looking at the last few seconds of the report she looks to be listing towards the dock or does she normally ground on low tide? I don't know the area.

First item on ITV Anglia news tonight - I expect it will be on their online catchup.
It does look a dreadful mess after the fire, confirmed as Arson.
Tony seemed upbeat about it all though.
