FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Rome-based ship owner Augusta Due said the cargo ship ran aground “because
of a force 10 storm in the early morning”, adding that “an engine
had problems because of the ship’s movements during the storm”.
The accident happened some eight weeks after the 290-metre cruise ship Costa
Concordia crashed into rocks off the island of Giglio on Italy’s northwest
coast and capsized with the loss of 32 lives.
A tug has arrived at the site to see if it was possible to pull the Gelso M
off the reefs and tow it to a port.
Augusta Due praised the rescuers’ “courage” and “great
professionalism” in poor weather conditions, with winds blowing at
70kph (45mph), poor visibility and waves of up to 10 metres (33 feet).
Augusta Due said workers for Dutch firm Smit Salvage were expected in Sicily
late Saturday and would be assisted by Italian company Augustea.
Smit Salvage has been hired by the owners of the Costa Concordia to pump
thousands of tonnes of fuel from the stricken cruise liner lying on its side
off the northwest Italian coast.
The Gelso M was on its way from the Venice port of Mestre to Augusta north of
Syracuse where it was to load a fuel shipment.
