The Modern Express is finally under tow to the port of Bilbao after the giant cargo ship spent nearly six days adrift in the Bay of Biscay, threatening to run aground along the French coast. The amazing race to save the ship began January 26th, 2016 when British authorities picked up a distress call from the roll-on/roll-off cargo ship after it had lost stability in heavy seas in the western Bay of Biscay.
