Scalloper sank in Quiberon

On Jan 30, 2025, at around 8:30 a.m., the 'Mor Braz- VA.755347', 11,06 gt, capsized and sank at its berth in the port of Quiberon. Firefighters intervened in Port-Haliguen to avoid a pollution from leaking oil. The trawler was in Quiberon for the scallop fishing campaign, had broken lose after the mooring cleats gave way, and drifted through the basin before coming to rest on the bottom on its port side with only a part of the wheelhouse remaining visible above the surface.
