Karin Schepers update.

The Karin Schepers has just docked in the Prins Prinses Beatrixhaven dock, Rotterdam with a lucky escape after grounding on one of the few sand banks along the North Cornish coast between St Ives and Sennen beach. Maritime authorities will no doubt be speaking to the skipper and crew to get to the bottom of the ships failure to respond to frantic calls from MCA Falmouth Coastguard after she was spotted by them on the AIS not complying with the traffic separation scheme off Land'sEnd in the early ours of yesterday morning.
