At 0515 on 29 June 2003, the Cypriot-registered general cargo vessel Jambo ran aground off the Summer Islands, at the entrance to Loch Broom on the west coast of Scotland. The German-owned, single-hold vessel, built in 1990, was carrying 3300 tonnes of zinc concentrate from Dublin to Odda in Norway. She subsequently sank. The grounding prompted fears of serious environmental damage.
