Harbour workers moved the vessel during the evening tide

A large cargo ship which ran aground in a Devon harbour has been refloated.

Rob Parsons, Teignmouth harbour master, said the ship was refloated at about 18:00 BST and had been berthed alongside the harbour wall.

The vessel from Amsterdam, which was carrying animal feed, had become stuck at about 06:00 and was refloated on the evening tide.

Mr Parsons said there had been no injuries on the boat which would be surveyed for damage.

No-one was injured in the grounding

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch said it was aware of the incident and was "making initial inquiries".
