Grounding on Danube
On Sep 15, 2011, the "Saale" ran onto a gravel bar on the Danube near Winzer with 850 tons canola. The ship got firmly stuck around 5.30 p.m. on the left bank of the river. The Romanian pilot had to wait for several other ships to pass when the backwash of a cabin cruiser running downstream pushed the ship onto the bar. The Water Police Deggendorf was on scene. In the night of Sep 16 the pusher tug "Domarin 12" proceeded from Vilshofen with a working platform and an excavator. Under the supervision of the Water and Shipping Authority, the "Saale" could then be pulled off. Because of damage to the bow thruster the ship was prohibited to continue its voyage.
