Built 30 years ago Cemfjord carrying two thousand. tonnes of cement from Denmark to Runcorn on the west coast of England. A vessel with a length of 83 meters and a displacement of 2301 tons was registered in Cyprus.

“in the course of carrying cement behaves somewhat like a fluid, changing the center of gravity. In the North Sea a few days remained stormy weather , suddenly appear very high waves. The North Sea is unpleasant, treacherous, and above all, very cold. The load could move with stormy weather, but it is too early to prejudge what caused the sinking “- she added Dzięciołowska.
Due to the fact that the ship from sinking did not send any distress signal, it can be assumed that the “sinking took place very quickly, and the crew was totally surprised,” – she said.
