Ship capsizes in the port of Fontvieille – The “Vieux Crabe”, a 16-meter-long vessel, sank during the night of Sunday to Monday in the port of Fontvieille. The SEPM (Monaco Ports Operating Company) noticed the vessel’s absence during its daily morning inspection.
For reasons that are still unclear, the boat sank completely to a depth of 7 metres, spilling between 50 and 100 litres of diesel into the sea. Divers were called in to empty the tank of any remaining fuel.
Listed as a boat of historical interest by the ‘Patrimoine Maritime et Fluvial’ (Sea and River Heritage), the “Vieux Crabe” is not expected to be taken out of the water for the time being, for financial reasons.
