(Agencies/Photo: Currini) The ship that ran aground last Friday at El Rinconcillo, has 24 serious defects, according to an inspection carried out by Capitanía Marítima after it was removed on Saturday. The cargo ship Rhea, which is Greek-owned flying under the Panamanian flag, is detained in port until the defficiencies are repaired and is also under a €200,000 'bail'. The captain refused help at least three times when it ran aground in heavy Levante seas.
