A cargo ship has been impounded at Devon port of Teignmouth after its captain was held on suspicion of drinking. Police supported by Maritime and Coastguard Agency officers attended the cargo vessel Sandettie anchored at Teignmouth Docks just before 6pm on Saturday, Dec. 15, 2012.
It is understood that the captain of the Dutch registered ship was breathalysed and subsequently arrested. A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed they had attended a ship on Saturday evening. "A male was breathalysed and arrested and the vehicle has been impounded at this time," he said.
The Sandettie, which measures nearly 90 metres in length and when full weighs just under 3,000 tonnes, arrived at the South Devon port from Brunsbüttel in northern Germany on December 12.
