Dear all,

attached two pictures of the Zhen Hua 10 on the beach near Rotterdam. Last
week during a force 10-11 gale she broke from her anchors, due to the
winddrag of her somewhat oversize cargo and was blown on the beach near
Rotterdam (Maasvlakte). They have made several attempts to get her afloat
again, so far without result.

I downloaded these pictures from internet, so the source is unknown. I
found the interesting enough to share, so credits go to the photographers.
If you search for 'zhen maasvlakte' in google (search for images) you will
find more.

Regards,

Jeroen

It seems she was towed off the beach. Damage is unknown sofar. Would have
been quite a loss, those big containercranes.
