That is one ship's captain who'll not work again!

(at least I hope they have his master's ticket off him pdq!)

advice - when in a hole, stop digging......he said some daft things - and the local coastguard was very well unimpressed.......

it looks, to me, I would say that from the position / shape of scrape and the rock in the port side - he steered into it and then the ship pivoted on the rock outcrop - as the stabiliser for'rd is Not damaged.....


I'm very sorry for the loss of life, that was my first thought......
