Ship’s hull crumpled in harbour collision                 29/1/14

Trucker Paul McGlynn (above) was in the drivers’ mess and feared the Ranger had collided into another ship. He said the experience was frightening and traumatising. Behind him, the crumpled steelwork of the ship’s hull is evident.

 

 

A large section of crumpled and bashed steel plating has to be replaced around the ship’s portside stern quarter. Debris from the cracked pier ended up in a large dent in the vessel.
