Rescued cargo ship anchors in Scapa Flow

A cargo ship that was refloated a week after running aground has anchored safely in Orkney.

Divers and coastguard surveyors are assessing the MV Priscilla before deciding the next step for the vessel.

The cargo ship had been stuck on the Pentland Skerries off the Caithness coast since 18 July.

The vessel was refloated at high water about 9pm on Wednesday and was towed to Scapa Flow in Orkney.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said: “A dive inspection is still ongoing.”
