Grounding on the Danube

The "Diana Maria", 806 ts (EU-No.: 03051407) ran aground on Mar 1, 2017, around 10 a.m. on the Danube at Ruckasing near Osterhofen). The ship was enroute from Novi Sad to Straubing and got stuck at the right side river shore after the master passed a fairway buoy on the wrong side. The water police Deggendorf and representatives of the river authority attended the grounding site. With the rising water level the barge, which was carrying 1600 tons soy, refloated at 1.15 p.m. She was ordered to berth in the port of Deggendorf for damage inspections. An investigation was launched against the master. He had not notified the authorities about the grounding and caused bottom shift by unauthorized attempts to get his ship off again.
