Engine Failure Strands Strait View Near Pointe Saint Mathieu
On February 8, 2014, the cargo vessel 'Strait View', loaded with 1,300 tons of soybean oil and staffed by 13 crew members, encountered severe engine problems south of Pointe Saint Mathieu. The ship had departed from Gladstone Dock in Liverpool on February 5, and by the early hours of February 8, at 2:15 a.m., it was in need of urgent towing assistance. The French offshore support vessel 'Alcyon' (IMO: 8104228), which was anchored in Camaret at the time, swiftly responded to the distress call and commenced tow operations. Despite battling adverse weather conditions, including 30-knot winds and five-meter waves, the 'Strait View' was successfully towed towards Brest, reaching its anchorage by the morning of February 9.
