snoop1130 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Cargo boat from Phuket hits rocks off Koh Phi Phi By Kritsada Mueanhawong A cargo boat travelling from Phuket suffered engine failure, was hit by waves and ended up stuck on rocks off Koh Phi Phi in Krabi this morning (August 23). Officials from the Hat Nopparat Thara National Park were called at 10.30am to inform them that a cargo boat name ‘Salinee’ had engine failure and was found drifting near Laem Tong on Koh Phi Phi. A tour boat from the Andaman Wave Company was used to tow the cargo boat off the rocks. It took about one hour to get the boat to a safe area away from the rocks. The boat wasn’t badly damaged and all boat crews were safely taken off Salinee to awaiting boats during the rescue.

Stargeezr Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 This boat is considered a ship? looks like a converted fishing boat to me. Legal cargo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
