Tank barge grounded on the Rhine
The 'Intruder', 1560 ts (EU-No.: 04801160), ran aground on the Rhine in pos. 50° 1.90' N 008° 13.72' E near the Industry Port of Mainz in the river arm of Mombach on Oct 16, 2019, at 9 a.m. The ship had come from Wesseling, and the master had misjudged the water depth in the river arm so that the cargo of 1.398 tons diesel on board caused too much draught. The river authority authorized the salvage plan presented, and around 4 p.m. work was due to start to pull the tanker off.
