Efforts to salvage car carrier’s cargo
The 51,000-tonne Hoegh Osaka was grounded on the Bramble Bank between Southampton and the Isle of Wight after it sailed from the Hampshire port with its cargo of 1,400 luxury and standard cars ncluding one Rolls-Royce Wraith, 65 MINIs and 1,200 Jaguars and Land Rovers - as well as 80 pieces of construction equipment.
The vessel began to list as it left the port, forcing the captain and pilot to take the emergency action of beaching it on the sandbank to prevent it turning over.
