Salvando a los de Salvamento...

TUG SINKS OFF PORTUGAL

Operator Boluda blames bad weather for loss of V.B. Antartico, but all crew safe.

A Spanish tug has sunk off Portugal, but all 11 crew were rescued. Operator Boluda blamed bad weather in the Atlantic for the loss of the 9,000-hp Cartagena-based V.B. Antartico (built 1977) on 15 May, 70 miles offshore.

The crew, 10 Cubans and a Spaniard, were picked up by K Line's 140,000-cbm LNG carrier Arctic Voyager (built 2006) and Columbia Shipmanagement's 8,600-dwt chemical tanker UCT Elizabeth (built 2004).

The LNG ship was heading to Brest in France with the men on Tuesday. The tug was towing a floating dock to La Coruna.
