La nave incagliata sulla costa della Francia

Le foto del cargo spagnolo che il forte vento ha spinto verso la costa: si è spezzato in due, l'equipaggio è stato salvato

A picture taken on February 5, 2014 shows a Spanish cargo ship ''Luno'' which slammed into a dyke and split in two, injuring at least one sailor and raising concerns of a fuel leak, in Anglet, near the French port of Bayonne. The prefecture for the Pyrenees-Atlantiques region said efforts were underway to recover the sailors by helicopter but the rescue operation was being hampered by winds of up to 110 kilometres per hour (70 miles per hour). Officials said a fuel leak had been detected and an emergency plan known as Polmar had been activated to deal with maritime pollution.

Una nave cargo spagnola lunga 100 metri si è incagliata sulla costa atlantica della Francia, ad Anglet, nei pressi del porto di Bayonne. Il cargo “Luno”, a causa di un’avaria al motore, è stato spinto verso la costa da raffiche di vento che hanno raggiunto i 110 chilometri all’ora, e si è spezzato in due scontrandosi con le rocce frangiflutti del molo di Anglet. La prua della nave è stata portata dalla corrente verso la spiaggia, mentre la poppa è rimasta incagliata sugli scogli. I dodici membri dell’equipaggio sono stati tutti recuperati senza troppi problemi con un elicottero dell’esercito. Nonostante il cargo, che normalmente trasporta fertilizzanti, fosse vuoto al momento dell’incidente, la Francia ha emanato un’allerta per l’inquinamento.
