The vessel in question is located within the functional area of Drogheda Port Company and matters in relation to the operation of the Port fall for the consideration of the Harbour Authority. It is understood that the vessel is afloat and alongside. The registered owner of the vessel is responsible for its safe management and operation including environmental protection.
