My December 2017 In Pictures - Mekhanik Yartsev.


When Russian cargo ship Mekhanik Yartsev lost a load of her timber consignment during stormy weather, en route from Latvia to Northern Ireland, she developed a significant list and headed for shelter in the Solent. Early on Tuesday 26th December 2017, HM Coastguard reported the 13 onboard crew safe and well, the ship stable and maintaining power, but the continuing stormy weather would delay her move to safety in the Port of Southampton. Two days later, on Thursday 28th, conditions improved and the ship was escorted to port, accompanied by a pilot, two tugs, the Harbour Master and an RNLI lifeboat.

The picture at the top shows a close-up of the storm-stricken & listing ship, and the Harbour Master, in Southampton Water, Hampshire, on Thursday 28th December 2017 at 12:43, heading to the port.
