Fishing trawler, filled with fish, sinks at Eden wharf
A 30-metre trawler, filled with 50 tonnes of salmon, has sunk at the Eden wharf on the NSW Far South Coast. Fire and Rescue NSW were called to reports of a partially submerged fishing trawler around 3:30am, which was discovered by the captain and crew. Inspector Phil Eberle said 50 tonnes of salmon on board was secured into the hull prior to the vessel completely sinking about 30 minutes later. “The crews have got in quickly and organised the captain and deckhand to secure the hatches before it went under,” he said. “We didn’t have fish floating all through the harbour.” >click to read< 18:16
