PROPLLER FOULED BY FISHING NETS.

Norvaag, en route from Shoreham to Falmouth with a cargo of 2,000 tons of split stones and eight crew members on board, got its propeller fouled by fishing nets in position 50 05 36 N, 005 02 07 W at around 1 a.m. on 7th. October 2022.

The nets of the fishing vessel Pelagic Marksman had snagged the propeller while Norvaag was at anchor. While the nets could be retrieved, the crew were unable to make full assessment, and the vessels owner arranged for a inspection by divers to ensure the propeller was clear before proceeding. The vessel retrieved its anchor after this was done, and it arrived in Falmouth at 8.30 a.m. on 8th. October.
