Vessel stuck on Rhine
On Feb 18, 2012, around 4 a.m. the "Stolt Basel" ran aground on the Rhine-km 576 near Koblenz. The ship was enroute Ludwigshafen- Rotterdam without cargo, when it got stuck due to a navigational misjudgement. The ship ran aground outside the fairway. Salvage attempts with own power and with the help of a tug failed. Only after a second tug was on scene, the vessel could be pulled off at 2.30 p.m. The police St. Goar and Koblenz jointly with the shipping authority Bingen controlled the passing traffic until the ship was off.
