        The Rolls-Royce UT range of vessels seem to be very popular for this type of role:

              No pollution from cargo vessel run aground off Galway coast
              Thursday, March 31, 2011 - 09:40 AM



              Coastguard officials say there has been no pollution from a cargo vessel which has run aground off the Co Galway coast.

              The 120 metre vessel went onto rocks in Cashla Bay in the early hours of this morning.

              It had arrived at Rossaveal harbour yesterday evening.

              The crew is still on board, and efforts will be made to refloat the vessel at high tide, which is due at about 5pm this evening.

                Here's the current AIS map for the vessel.

                  It seems she was entering the harbour to recover 2 ferries that had been seized by the bank. She is a heavy lift vessel, often used in the offshore wind farm industry to transfer towers.
                  Odd that she was unable to collect the ferries....
                  Cargo ship runs aground off Connemara
                  The owners of a 7,000-ton cargo ship which ran aground at Casla Bay in Connemara, Co Galway, are trying to establish it can be refloated later today.

                  The German-owned ship, with 14 crew on board, arrived yesterday and was due to pick up two small passenger ferries at Rossaveal Harbour.

                  The two boats had been repossessed by a bank and were sold in Galway last month.

                  The 'Pantanal', which is registered in Newfoundland, Canada, ran aground in heavy seas at around 6am this morning.

                  Efforts will be made to raise the boat when high tide comes at 5pm.

                  There are no reports of any oil spillage at the moment, but the Irish Coast Guard is monitoring the situation
                  Minister for the Marine Simon Coveney has inspect the 7,000-tonne cargo ship, which ran aground at Rossaveal Harbour in Connemara this morning.

                    These are the boats it was collecting.

                      According to the Irish Times website, she dragged her anchor in heavy seas early this morning. Presumably she was waiting for daylight and/or high tide, before entering the port to pick up the ferries.

                        14 pages of discussion on the various business interests of the former owner of the ferries in question.

                          Wow, thats something else.

                          Maybe the ship ran aground on a plastic house moulding machine?

                            Tug boat refloats ship off Galway coast
                            Friday, April 01, 2011 - 08:59 AM



                            Efforts to refloat a cargo ship which ran aground off the Galway coast yesterday have been successful.

                            The 7,000 tonne vessel got into difficulty near Rossaveal Harbour when strong winds dragged into on to rocks.

                            A tug from Shannon helped refloat the ship at about 5.30am this morning.

                            The owners of the boat are now examining it for possible damage.
                            Anyone know whose tug?
