Bermagui boat wreck salvage ‘complex’, clean-up likely to take weeks
The fallout from fishing vessel F/V Volition running aground at Bermagui’s Dickinson Point will likely continue for some time. Bermagui’s main beach in town, Horseshoe Bay, was closed when the boat ran aground in the early hours of 27 February (Thursday) due to pollution concerns. There is debris in the ocean and washed up on beaches as far north as near Camel Rock, and people reported the strong smell of diesel. Horseshoe Bay beach reopened to the public at 2:15 pm on 4 March (Tuesday). Marine Rescue and NSW Water Police responded to the mayday call issued from the vessel. All four men on board made it safely back to shore. They are said to be shocked and devastated. Photos, more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 10:38
