    Default Another Italian Flagged ship grounds off Sicily

    Another Italian flagged ship has grounded. This time it is the oil / chemical tanker Gelso M which grounded in bad weather just north of Syracuse in Sicily. She was bound for Augusta. Little information is available at this early stage other than the crew have been rescued by helicopter.

    Doent look too pretty does it!
    As said wonder if there will be any salvage left after the Storm she is experiencing at the moment!
    Although these Ships are tough and can withdstand some haevy Seas and battering!
