THE cargo ship Scot Bay which ran aground off Teignmouth was successfully re-floated on the evening tide yesterday (April 10).

Teignmouth harbour master Rob Parsons said the ship was freed at just after 6pm and had berthed alongside the harbour wall.

The vessel from Amsterdam, which was carrying animal feed, had become stuck at about just after 6am on Thursday morning as she attempted to enter ABP Teignmouth.

There had been no injuries to the crew on the boat which would be now surveyed for damage.
