Russian cargo ship with 18 crew runs aground on UK beach

The 180-meter (590-foot) vessel was grounded on a Cornwall beach just after 5:30 a.m. local time, with several local residents tweeting eye-catching images of the mammoth ship glowing in the early morning light.

Tug boats were on their way to help refloat the ship, which is tilted at a five-degree angle, said the MCA.

The tugs will attach to the cargo ship and move it when the tide rises, the MCA explained.

There is no cargo on the boat, and no sign of pollution spillage.
