Update: A tow connection has been established between the abandoned bulk carrier ‘Julietta D’ and Belgian salvage tug ‘Sovereign’ and Dutch tug ‘Multratug 18’, the coastguard said in an update.
All 18 crew members have been safely evacuated following a collision between two ships in the Netherlands Monday during Storm Corrie, the Dutch coast guard said.
Update 4: A coastguard update as of 21:13 local time said the situation was stable with the Sovereign tug still connected to Julietta D. Rescue crews are awaiting calmer weather.
