Engines fail on Southampton water!

Not our engine, the engines on a container ship, Basle Express.

Length 366 meters, 48 meters wide and draft of 13 meters heading to Hamburg.


Saw it slow down just before Fawley oil refinery so dropped anchor very quickly.


Within minutes all the tugs came out to help!


The ship did manage to re-start the engines and carried on with its voyage with the help of some tugs.
