Cork based tug sails over a third of the way to Canada to tow crippled cargo ship to safety

An Irish salvage company has towed a crippled ocean-going cargo ship to safety after successfully completing a long-range towing operation.
A crew from Atlantic Towage and Marine, a specialist marine firm based in West Cork, had to sail their powerful recovery tug, Ocean Challenger, over a third of the way to Canada to rendezvous with the crippled cargo ship, Onego Rio.
