Cargo ship disabled off Fécamp
The "Amadeus Amethist" got in difficulty off Fécamp on Mar 3, 2016 in rough seas with waves of four to five meters and winds of 74 km/h.
The vessel, which was coming from Antwerp and bound to Fécamp with a crew of eight on board, suffered engine failure and dropped anchor. Three tugs arrived shortly before noon.
Two were sent by the maritime prefecture (Premar) Channel and another was mobilized by the owner.
The Navy also sent a helicopter. In the late morning, the ship regained its propulsion and reached the port of Fécamp in the late afternoon.

The "Amadeus Amethist" which had moved away from the Normandy coast after power was restored on Mar 3 at 11.30 a.m. return to the port of Fécamp, its destination port, in the late afternoon where it dropped anchor.
