| Ship refloated after grounding

UNDERWATER damage surveys will be
conducted today on MS Serenissima in the
Scottish port of Oban Bay after the 112-pax
vessel ran aground earlier this week.
The ship was refloated yesterday at high tide
after strong winds thwarted a first attempt.
Initial reports showed no damage to the ship
above the water line, with no injuries reported
among crew or passengers.
The vessel, originally built in 1960, is now
owned and operated by Noble Caledonia
and operating in Europe after undergoing a
significant refurbishment earlier this year.
