A spokesperson for Ceredigion County Council said it was aware that a vessel has become grounded, adding it is “following the formal/legal process necessary under the Aberystwyth Harbour Act 1987 to recover/remove it should the need arise”.

The spokesperson added: “The council understands that attempts by the owner to recover the vessel themselves have been unsuccessful to date, but that a further attempt is planned in the coming days.
