At the mercy of the sea force eight on Friday morning. The bike Skymar ship flying the Cambodian flag with Syrian sailors on board, ended up with the commercial port closed, in the midst of the storm.
For nearly 24 hours the Coast Guard, two tugs and the Commander of Riders of Venice, are trying to hook it, without success.
The Skymar Friday was anchored off Malamocco in the stand waiting to get in Marghera, loaded with 5,400 tons of silica sand.Because of strong winds over 30 knots failed to retrieve an anchor, ending at Chioggia, stuck in the so-called "peocèra" a mile and a half from the dam. Immediate relief and emergency operations, ongoing bedeviled by high winds and waves of 5 meters in height. The two tugs, in fact, have struggled to tow it to a safer place. the strong wind that blows from last night around the Veneto has caused a storm in Sottomarina. Seaway and Bora gusts to 70 mph sweep away more meters of beach. To worsen an already compromised by erosion "normal" has returned a new wave of violent bora that has devastated the Green Island and the stretch of campsites, ugly. A power failure also affected areas of St. Anne and Ca 'Bianca.
