Cargo Ship Scot Bay Stuck in River Teign, Plans for Recovery Underway

The cargo ship 'Scot Bay' ran aground in the River Teign, Devon, early on April 10 while attempting to dock in Teignmouth after departing from the Dutch port of IJmuiden. The Teignmouth Harbour Commission (THC) confirmed awareness of the situation and is coordinating efforts to safely navigate the vessel to its intended berth. Harbour master Rob Parsons reported that all eight crew members are safe, with no injuries or pollution reported. The ship's condition is secure, and efforts will be made to move it during the evening tide, aided by favorable weather and building tides. All vessels in the harbour have been advised to maintain distance during the operation. The THC has committed to providing updates as the situation evolves.
