ICE PRINCE SINKS
At a quarter to one this morning, the general cargo vessel `Ice Prince sank in very rough weather approximately 26 miles south south east of the Portland Bill (50 09.9N 002 02.08W).
She had been monitored throughout the evening and night by the French Coastguard tug Abeille Liberté and a further JP Knights tug, the `Anglian Earl. Salvors are aboard both tugs. Portland Coastguard along with their French Coastguard colleagues in Cross Corsen are warning other approaching shipping of the hazards in the area, particularly in the south west bound lane of the Casquets traffic separation scheme.
Just before she sank, the crew of the Abeille Liberté reported that further deck cargo had been lost to the sea and that the angle of the list had increased but that visibility is very poor at present in very rough weather. The tug is remaining on scene to act as a guard ship to the wreck.
The Ice Prince, which is more than 328ft (100m) long and weighs 6,395 tons, sent out an emergency call at 7pm yesterday after getting into difficulties. The vessels stern is now on the bottom and the bow is above the water.
An MCA counter pollution aerial surveillance aircraft will be making an over flight at first light this morning to see the extent of the debris on the surface of the water from the 5258 metric tons of sawn timber which the vessel carried. Over 2000 tons were being carried on the deck.
The vessel also carries amongst other lubricating oils in the engine spaces some estimated 313 metric tons of intermediate fuel oil. The Agencys counter pollution team will also be urgently reviewing contingency plans at first light, and bringing forward any counter pollution stockpiles that may be needed to help disperse any oil that surfaces, if any are released from her bunkers. Wave energy in such very rough seas may also help disperse such released oil.
Police forces and local authorities in both Devon and Dorset have also been made aware of the sinking although any impact on the shoreline may be some days away given the distance of the foundering from the coast.

Ice Prince Sinks After Dramatic Rescue
Updated:09:28, Tuesday January 15, 2008
A cargo ship abandoned by its crew after she listed to 40 degrees off the Devon coast has sunk.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said the Ice Prince went under at 12.45am local time.
The Greek-registered ship was carrying a cargo of 5,258 tons of sawn timber.
Some 20 crew, including a man with a broken leg, were rescued by helicopter and lifeboat in storm conditions on Monday night after the vessel's cargo of timber shifted and she began to list.

Update on Sinking of Ice Prince
Friday, January 18, 2008
The UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said that the estimated clearance over the wreck of the ICE PRINCE is 46.8 meters, but that an Irish Lights vessel will examine and confirm the clearance. In the meantime, a temporary exclusion zone of 1000 meters is in effect. Bundles of the floating timber are breaking up, but may still present a hazard, particularly for smaller vessels. An incident report provides further details. Source: HK Law
