A safety ship is monitoring a Spanish general cargoship that remains aground off the UK.

The 4,950-dwt Muros (built 2008) got stuck on Saturday near Happisburgh, Norfolk, the Eastern Daily Press reported.

The Naviera Murueta vessel was en route from Teesport to Rochefort in France.

AIS data showed the ship still aground on Wednesday.

The UK coastguard has said salvage talks are continuing.

Muros is said to be lodged on a sandbank outside a shipping lane.
