A cargo ship which ran aground while leaving Southampton still has not made it to its destination.

The One Maneuver ran aground on Bramble Bank in the Solent after losing power while leaving Southampton Container Terminal on Tuesday.

The more than 78,000-tonne ship was beginning a journey to Rotterdam, and is now anchored off the coast of the Isle of Wight.

Mitsui OSK, the vessel's owner, said the ship’s water ballast tank had suffered a breach in the incident – the ballast tank helps the ship stay balanced.

Mark Clark, a spokesman for the ship's owner Mitsui OSK, said it would probably need minor repairs.

He told the BBC: "She's been moved to a location of a deep water anchorage off the south-east of the Isle of Wight.

"The damage sounds low-key, in decent light they'll just do a full inspection and then she'll head off to Rotterdam as planned."

But as of Thursday evening, she remains anchored off the coast of the Isle of Wight.

One Maneuver, which sails under the flag of Japan, was due to arrive in Rotterdam by 3pm on Wednesday.

Ocean Network Express, the Singapore-headquarted company which operates the ship, says the ship is also due to call at Hamburg and Karachi in Pakistan, before heading to Hazira, Nhava Sheva and Mundra in India.

Bramble Bank is a triangular sandbar in the middle of the Solent that can be dangerous for ships during low tide.

In 2015 the Hoegh Osaka container ship ran aground on Bramble Bank and spent 19 days listing at 52 degrees.

A report said the crew of the 51,000-tonne vessel was unaware of its "inadequate stability", meaning it did not meet international minimum requirements.

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) report said the ship's master telephoned the chief officer to say it did "not feel right" minutes before it developed a "serious list".

The ship's lights went out and some of the cargo shifted, puncturing a hole in its side before the vessel drifted into Bramble Bank at about 9.15pm.

One crew member who had been off-duty and in a cabin broke his arm and leg after falling 18 metres as the vessel continued to list, while several others received minor injuries.
