A cargo ship is adrift and at risk of sinking after losing its rudder as it left the bar at Figueira da Foz. In remarks to TVI reporter António Crespo, the vice‑president of the Port Community of Figueira da Foz said the situation was caused by bad weather, which left the bar inundated with sand. “Despite having reduced its draught, the ship struck the seabed,” said Paulo Mariano, adding that they are awaiting the arrival of tugboats.
