Manx ship towed over fumes

A Manx-registered ship has been towed to Gran Canaria after her crew were evacuated because of fumes.

The Cheshire, a bulk carrier, was carrying fertiliser from Norway to Thailand when two of her cargo holds saw temperatures rise.

The fumes meant her crew had to be taken off the 190-metre vessel which is owned by Liverpool's Bibby Line.

She's currently off the coast of West Africa.
