Wind Orca

The Wind Orca came back into the River Tyne this afternoon, hope it doesn’t cause anymore problems like it did the last time it was in.

For ex pats abroad plus a lot of others here in the UK, this is what Thomas means.
On July 19th 'Wind Orca' a Wind Turbine installation ship collided with the berthed container ship carrying tons of plastic 'nurdles' at Port of Tyne. TONS of these white pellets were released into the sea causing an environmental disaster as they quickly floated and spread everywhere as you will have seen on the News.

Surely the Ships Insurance should be used to cover the costs involved ?
