About: MV Fedra

An Entity of Type: Bulk carrier, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

MV Fedra was a Liberian-registered bulk-carrier cargo ship. It ran aground and smashed against Europa Point, the southernmost tip of Gibraltar on 10 October 2008 following severe gale force winds measuring 12 on the Beaufort scale. Spanish and Gibraltarian emergency services mounted a joint rescue operation, Gibraltar declared a Major Incident and requested the standby of additional statutory and voluntary emergency services (including St John Ambulance Gibraltar), although due to the safe rescue of all crew from Fedra they were ultimately not needed.

  • MV Fedra was a Liberian-registered bulk-carrier cargo ship. It ran aground and smashed against Europa Point, the southernmost tip of Gibraltar on 10 October 2008 following severe gale force winds measuring 12 on the Beaufort scale. Spanish and Gibraltarian emergency services mounted a joint rescue operation, Gibraltar declared a Major Incident and requested the standby of additional statutory and voluntary emergency services (including St John Ambulance Gibraltar), although due to the safe rescue of all crew from Fedra they were ultimately not needed. Five of its 31 crew members were airlifted to safety by a Spanish coast guard helicopter and the rest were hoisted up by an improvised crane system. The vessel broke in half shortly thereafter. About half of its 300 tons of fuel spilled into the sea. Some of such oil washed ashore along Gibraltar's western coast, particularly in the area of Rosia Bay and Camp Bay. Spanish sources said that some fuel from Fedra had washed up on some Campo beaches having drifted as far as Tarifa. There were also oil slicks in the Bay of Gibraltar. Fedra avoided becoming a permanent shipwreck when the forward section was re-floated and towed round into the Bay of Gibraltar in February 2009. It was moored alongside the South Mole in Gibraltar Harbour. The superstructure was cut away from the hull of the aft section, and was placed the dockside at HM Naval Base. A report was released by the Gibraltar Maritime Association in January 2012 which reveals how the Company undermined the Master of Fedra and his authority in his attempts to save both the crew and the ship. The report also explains the various aspects which led to the demise of MV Fedra. (en)
  • MS Fedra – masowiec pływający pod banderą liberyjską; 10 października 2008 wszedł na skały i zatonął w Zatoce Algeciras u wybrzeży Gibraltaru. MS Fedra została wybudowana w 1984 przez stocznię Burmeister & Wain w duńskiej Kopenhadze jako jedna z serii 19 bliźniaczych masowców o nośności 63.940 DWT, długości 224,85m i szerokości 32,25 m. Jednostka weszła do służby w październiku 1984. Statek wszedł na skały u wybrzeży Gibraltaru podczas sztormu o sile ok. 12 stopni w skali Beauforta. Pięcioro z jego trzydziestojednoosobowej załogi udało się ewakuować drogą powietrzną, a resztę marynarzy uratowano za pomocą zaimprowizowanego dźwigu ratowniczego. Wkrótce po ewakuowaniu ludzi statek przełamał się i osiadł na mieliźnie. Wyciek około 150 ton paliwa zanieczyścił zachodnie wybrzeże Gibraltaru, ślady ropy były odnotowywane aż do wybrzeży Tarify. Dziobowa część wraku została wydobyta w 2009 roku i odholowana do portu w Gibraltarze, a następnie pocięta na złom. (pl)
