ill-fated China Fir
The Panamanian freighter, ss Denis I, ran
aground at Tathong Channel
near
Lyemun Pass at 2.50 am today, not far from the wreck of the China Fir, which suffered a similar fate earlier this year. Captain T. K. Ho and 42 crew members are all safe on board, and helping to pump out the water from the holds.
The 5771 ton freighter was chartered by Kungs Shipping Corporation on behalf of their Japanese principal, to pick up a cargo of logs in Butman in The Philippines. She was then to sail for Yokohama.
The ship is owned by a local firm, the Kimberley Shipping
Australia Corporation and her local agent is the Pacific Shipping Co, (HK) Ltd.
Cracks in the hull
The ss Denis left harbour at about 1 am in ballast at a slow speed. Then, at 2.50 am the captain reported grounding off Tathong Point between Lam Tung Hill and the wrecked China Fir.
The China Fir ran aground on April 18. Grounding cracked the bottom of the ship, under holds No. 1 and 3, but there was no damage reported under The main hold, said Mr James Lee, President of Kimberley Shipping Corp and Managing Director of The Australia Pacific Shipping Co. Ltd. Lee said that the ship was still above water at noon today and divera from Kowloon Dock were sent to the scene to check the damaged hull.
