A cargo ship hit a Ministry of Defence vessel in Cornwall this morning.

Officers were called to Falmouth at around 8am where a cargo ship ran aground after crashing into an MoD contracted vessel that was secured to the fixed pontoon.

The cargo ship was identified as the 'Smit Yare' - a range safety and training vessel run by Smit International, under contract with MoD.

There are no injuries reported so far following the incident at County Wharf, Falmouth docks.

Royal Navy campaign group NavyLookout claims the cargo vessel was Danish chemical tanker 'MV Else Marie Theresa', though neither the MoD or police have confirmed this.
