General cargo ship PEMBA lost part of her deck cargo on Jan 14, while sailing in stormy waters off Spain’s northwestern coast of Costa da Morte area, Galiciam en route from Ceuta Spain to Szczecin Poland.. Several steel construction pontoons were lost overboard, remaining afloat and endangering traffic in the area. By Jan 17 reportedly, all pontoons were accounted for, and recovered. The ship interrupted voyage and called port of Vigo, Spain, to fix remaining deck cargo and probably, take on board recovered pontoons. As of morning Jan 18, the ship was still berthed at Vigo.
