A 25,000-TONNE cargo ship which was stranded on a sandbank for almost 12 hours was refloated yesterday.
Five tugs pulled the ship free from the bank off Dumbarton Castle in the River Clyde at around 1am.

The Ocean Light was taken to Great Harbour in Greenock to assess the damage and carry out any repairs.

The Maltese-registered vessel became stuck at 1.30pm on Friday.
