The 842-ton new freighter ‘The Mali Rose’ belonging to the Isles of Scilly group crashed into boats which were moored in Penzance harbour. The vessel reportedly collided with a yacht and a trawler.
The extent of damage of the vessel and the other boats remains unknown and will be estimated shortly. An investigation has been launched to determine the course of the incident leading to collision.
