The Defence Forces have already expressed concerns about the lack of maritime security or situation awareness in Ireland that allowed the derelict 77m MV Alta to pass through Ireland’s maritime domain before grounding on the shoreline east of Cork Harbour in February 2020. Picture: Safehaven Marine
Evidence has emerged of a near-miss incident off Cork involving a massive oil tanker and the ghost-ship which was washed onto the coast near Ballycotton almost two years ago.
Had the two vessels collided near Cork Harbour, it could have caused a massive environmental catastrophe, TDs have been told.
