Grounding off Dieppe
On the afternoon of Jan 1, 2026, the 'Chant du Loup', with five people on board, including the skipper Pierre Villeneuve. was disabled and informed the CROSS Gris-Nez that the propeller had got entangled with a net and that the ship was unable to maneuver. The SNSM dispatched the lifeboat 'Notre Dame de Bonsecours-SNS 080' (MMSI: 227002990) to assist. While the lifeboat was headed to the 'Chant du Loup', a nearby fishing vessel came to their aid. The fishing vessel attached a towline and proceeded back to Dieppe. Approximately 15 kilometers off Dieppe, the towline parted and the 'Chant du Loup' went adrift. The lifeboat was on scene in time and took over the further tow of the 'Chant du Loup'. But just as they were nearing their destination, at the entrance to the Dieppe harvbour channel, around 6:30 p.m., while reducing the towline, the trawöer was caught by the current. Because of its deep draft, it drifted eastwards onto a sandbank and ran aground. The towline then broke, and it was impossible to recover it, as the ship was quickly driven onto the rocks- The tug from the port of Dieppe, the 'TSM Bréhat' (IMO: 9689067), was unable to approach the grounded vessel due to the proximity of shallow waters. The "Chant du Loup" quicklly started taking on water, and rescue services were deployed to save the crew at 7.10 p.m. Involved were a Dauphin helicopter of the French Navy' and the lifeguards from the SDIS 76 (Seine-Maritime Fire and Rescue Service. The fishermen were safely taken ashore. The fishing vessel, stuck on the breakwater with the bow, was meanwhile sinking by the stern with a list to port side. The refloating of the wreck was entrusted to the Seine-Maritime Maritime and Coastal Delegation. in November 2024, the vesse had to be towed for 20 hours in rough seas in the Strait of Dover, also because the net had become entangled in the propeller.
