Amidst reports of high winds forecast for the North Sea area, the Zhen Hua 23 was berthed on a lay-by berth at Felixstowe's Southern terminal (presumably not wishing a repeat of the Zhen Hua 10 grounding off Rotterdam a few weeks ago?)
However by sunrise, high winds had caused the Zhen Hua 23 to part her lines, with the vessel blown on the beach, her cargo damaged and two the terminals three operational cranes, lying in a pile of scrap metal! At least one of the cranes onboard would also appear to be a write off!
Maybe it would have been better to have left her at anchor after all!
The fact that the ship went aground appeared to spare a further land crane and a nearby yacht from damage.
