Fish 0 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 TV report says a large ship has run agound on rocks at Tauranga Harbour entrance. Two tugs pulled it off, no reports of oil spill, no other details. They gave the ships name but it was one of those crazy foreign ones I can't pronounce, let alone spell Link to post Share on other sites

grant 40 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I believe two ballast tanks (double bottoms) got damaged. The next double bottom tank was fuel so it stopped in the right place! Link to post Share on other sites
