Lighter of "Dürnstein" refloated too
On Nov 25 also the lighter which had been connected to the Austrian flagged, self propelled barge "Dürnstein", 1996 ts (EU-No.:5700770), was pulled off the wreck of the sunken lighter "Meister 32" in the Danube at Regelsbrunn, one day after the "Dürnstein" was refloated. The company-own pusher tug "Denija" (MMSI-No.: 203999268) also carried it to Bratislava for repairs.
Salvage faster than expected
On Nov 24 the "Dürnsein" was pulled off the wreck of a sunken lighter in the Danube at Regelsbrunn, one day after the barge it was pushing, and in spite of the still low water level. The ship with its barge was moved to Bratislava for repairs of the limited damage. German report with photo: http://noe.orf.at/news/stories/2510616/
Dürnstein stuck on wreck
In the night of Nov 14, 2011, the "Dürnstein" ran onto the wreck of a cargo vessel which sank on the Danube near Regelsbrunn in May 2010. The ship which is connected to a barge can only be pulled off the wreck when the water level is rising as otherwise the hull may be breached. The wreck underneath the "Dürnstein" is to be dismantled in January 2012. Austrian report with photo: http://derstandard.at/1319182952320/Niederoesterreich-Erneut-schwerer-Schiffsunfall-auf-der-Donau
