The Portuguese Navy patrol ‘Douro’ intercepted, this afternoon, the nuclear waste transport ship ‘Pacific Heron’, when it was sailing along the southern coast of Madeira, in the Santa Cruz area, on a route that was not authorized to perform. The information was advanced to the DIARY by the sea and war captain Guerreiro Cardoso.
The captain of the port of Funchal admitted that the British freighter made a “strange” route, as it circumvented Porto Santo, passed through the north coast of Madeira and then the south coast. When he was going to Ponta de São Lourenço, in an area that did not allow him to pass, the ‘Douro’ patrol followed him and intercepted him, forcing him to change route, according to Guerreiro Cardoso, the ‘Pacific Heron’ now sails towards the south towards Desertas and then you should go to England.
Despite the intervention of the Portuguese military ship, the captain of the port of Funchal guaranteed that there was no security problem. The same official explained that the ‘Pacific Heron’ is used to transport nuclear waste, but that, at this time, according to the information transmitted to the Portuguese authorities, it does not transport cargo. The British ship’s commander announced that the current voyage aims to conduct sea trials.
