It had been almost three weeks since she had moved. On December 8, a barge drifted into the Channel due to gusts of wind from Storm Darragh.
As revealed by our colleagues from Actu.fr, the 120-meter boat definitively left the beach of Sotteville-sur-Mer this Saturday, December 28, 2024.
She left around 9:30 a.m. All the operations were done this morning. There was a lot of fog. We saw it pass Veules-les-Roses and it is now heading towards Le Havre.
