Turkish-owned cargo ship "Arslan II" to leave Dublin after two months
The "Arslan II" that got into difficulties involving her rudder off Arklow Bank in Jan 2014, and has since remained in Dublin Port, was scheduled to depart to Tuzla on Mar 12. Off Arklow Bank, the vessel was initially assisted by a single tug.
When the tow had reached Dublin Bay a Dublin Port Co tug joined in to assist operations of the 260TEU container capacity vessel into port.
In February, the Arsalan II was moved into the No.2 dry-dock facility of Dublin Graving Docks Ltd.
The incident is currently undergoing an investigation by the (MCIB) Marine Casualty Investigation Board.
In recent days the vessel vacated the dry-dock to a nearby berth within Alexandra Basin from where she is to set sail.
