The six crew members were rescued while the boat was still at sea. The drifting boat was monitored all night by the intervention, assistance and rescue tug (Rias)
“Abeille Normandie "
, reporting to the
"Aber Ildut"
and the
"Sémaphore d'Ault"
, reports the regional daily.
The trawler ended up running aground on a beach in Cayeux-sur-Mer.
Several assessments carried out
Smoke continues to emanate from the wreckage.
An intervention by the Departmental Fire and Rescue Service (SDIS 80) is then organized from the outside, the state of the hull still not allowing internal intervention.
“The SDIS 80 firefighters have continued their actions since this morning to extinguish the smoke and secure the wreck
,” specifies the maritime prefecture.
A series of assessments is underway to assess the possibilities of removing the wreck from the coast.
This represents a potential danger for unwary individuals, but no fluid flow has yet been observed.
The prefecture ensures that actions carried out on board are carried out
“with particular vigilance in terms of possible impact on the coastal environment”
