    Probably rushing forward to clear the anchors to let them go as a last resort, cowboys Ted. Nearby VTS would have picked them up & told port state control to tear them a new discharge valve for getting into such a mess..

    The lads are rushing forward to be in position to assess the damage immediately, if there is a collision. Is it above or below the waterline, how much water is she taking on etc.?
