FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin The Nautical Institute draws lessons learned from an incident where a cargo vessel dragged anchor in severe storm conditions inside a harbour breakwater and broke in two. A small general cargo vessel with a crew of 13 arrived in ballast at its loading port and was sent to anchor outside the breakwater to await an available berth. Five days later, and still at anchor outside the breakwater, weather conditions were deteriorating. Strong onshore winds were expected, accompanied by high waves.
