13,900-TEU APL Vanda loses power, runs aground near Southampton
The 13,900-TEU APL Vanda was subject to a controlled grounding after it lost power, according the UK's Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA). But the ship was soon refloated with the aid of eight tugs and moved from Bramble Bank into the Port of Southampton.
"At this time no damage or pollution has been reported, the coastguard continue to monitor the situation," MCA said.
The grounding was in the same area the car carrier Hoegh Osaka in January 2015.
It is also the second large containership to run aground this month following the 19,000-TEU CSCL Indian Ocean which was grounded in the River Elbe outside of the Port of Hamburg.
