'Cormorant' salvages Dutch fishing boat off Dunkirk.

Dutch towage and salvage specialist Multraship has salvaged the fishing trawler Nieuwpoort 28 (N28) which capsized off Dunkirk on 1 March. The trawler capsized twenty miles off the French/Belgian coast. It was upside-down in the water and the French and Belgian Coastguards mobilised a Search & Rescue operation during which Navy divers searched the vessel but were unable to find any of the trawler’s three crew members. Two brothers and their brother-in-law were all from the close-knit Zeeland fishing community.
