BBC strikes again

BBC report on grounding of NIS flag coaster "Sunna" on Swona

"Oil laden cargo vessel" turns out to be a coaster with 1900 tonnes of ferrosilicon in her hods and

37,000 litres

(shall we say 30 tonnes?)

of fuel in her tanks.

And to think they once ran a thing called The Merchant Navy Programme!

Which was not too bad, either!

Oh, yes, Klyne Tugs late as usual, see adjacent thread...no free running speed...)
