    It had fires in both engine rooms and it couldn't be put out.
    By the time we got out there it was a mess.
    Thanks to some local Spanner crab boats and a VMR boat from Gladstone we were able to get everyone back safely. It was a long night.

    It has gone down to the best of our knowledge. There is an effort now to locate it before the 1000lts of fuel still on board doesn't case a spill on the reef.
