"The 70,000 BRT Chinese bulk carrier 'Fu Shan Hai' sank this evening, about 4 nautical miles north of the island of Bornholm, south of Sweden in the Baltic Sea. The foundering occured whilst being towed by Danish and Swedish Coast Guard vessels to shallow waters.
The 'Fu Shan Hai' had earlier collided with a Cypriot-registrered container ship and immediately began listing heavily.
All 27 crew were picked up safely by other vessels.
The aim was to tow the 'Fu Shan Hai' to waters some 25 metres deep in order to permit salvage of her cargo, mainly fertilizer. However, shortly after 1900 hours GMT she rapidly went down. She now rests at about 65-70 metres. A very nice wreck for trimix divers ...
A Zenobia for the Baltic perhaps? ;O) "

Hey Gully, that's you and your mates squared-away then, eh? Jammy sods.
