A bulker that suffered serious water ingress has been safely towed to Tallinn in Estonia.

The 40,000-dwt Glory Hongkong (built 2012) was down by the stern on 8 March after the water level reached between six and seven metres in the engine room.

"The damage is deep enough in the ship to prevent it taking on more water. The leaking section of the vessel has now been sealed off, so the water will not enter other areas.
