Tugs attempt to refloat ship

A CARGO ship, which ran aground during the midweek storm, remained stranded for a second night in Kinsale harbour, Co Cork.

A further attempt to refloat the vessel is scheduled for this morning, just before daybreak. Two tugs failed in a bid, at high tide last evening, to relaunch the 240ft long Seebrise.

Registered in the Caribbean port of Belize, the ship had taken shelter in the lower harbour against Wednesday night's storm when it was swept on to rocks.
