Lost cargo from the merchant vessel 'Frisian Lady' has made its way onto the picturesque shores of East Lothian. On March 2, 2018, the ship, while traversing the North Sea, reportedly lost approximately 200 bundles of timber during its journey from Antwerp to Immingham. Just 110 nautical miles east of Souter Lighthouse, near South Shields, this timber cargo began its unexpected journey into the Firth of Forth. Since the cargo's release into the waters, locals have observed an influx of wooden planks washing ashore along the coastline, particularly from Morrison’s Haven to North Berwick. Authorities, including Police Scotland, have strongly advised residents and beachgoers against attempting to salvage any of the scattered timber pieces, as many have broken apart and become individual planks. In response to the situation, HM Coastguard has actively communicated navigational safety alerts to nearby vessels, cautioning them regarding the lost cargo. Recent aerial surveys suggest that while the timber was initially present in larger segments at sea, it has largely repositioned itself among the sandy beaches of East Lothian, the Scottish Borders, and Fife.

The vessel 'Frisian Lady,' which incurred damages due to an allision incident in Papenburg, has successfully undergone repairs at Shipdock Amsterdam. The ship departed from the shipyard on September 18 at 9 p.m., navigating through the Amsterdam Sea Canal. Its next destination is Ijmuiden, where it will continue its maritime journey.

On September 6, 2015, at approximately 9 a.m., the vessel 'Frisian Lady' encountered an unfortunate incident while navigating into the port of Papenburg after departing from Klaipeda. Despite the assistance of tugs, the ship collided with two dolphins amid northwestern winds reaching up to 8 Beaufort. This allision resulted in a breach of the hull, measuring one meter above the waterline. Following the accident, the ship was held in port until a thorough assessment confirmed its seaworthiness. The local water police in Emden promptly initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the event. Notably, the dolphins were also left with damages from the collision. After completing its unloading process on September 8, the 'Frisian Lady' repositioned to the South Quay and departed from Papenburg at approximately 10 p.m. heading towards Amsterdam, with an estimated arrival time set for September 9 at 7 p.m. For detailed imagery of the incident, visit: http://www.forum-schiff.de/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6087#p118471
