Cargo ship grounded off Fehmarn
In the early morning of Apr 14, 2014, the "Ashley" ran onto a bar in the Fehmarn Sound on its way from Rotterdam to Neustadt in Holstein. The ship which was loaded with lime had already passed the eastern part of the Sound when it got stock at the south coast of Fehmarn between the buoys 10 and 11. A tug was called from Rostock which was able to refloat the ship some hours later. The vessel then headed around the island instead of continuing the sound transit. Once the ship had berthed in Neustadt at 11.25 a.m., investigators of the police Heiligenhafen came on board. It looked like the ship with a draught of 4,3 meters was a victim of the very low tide that night as the charts showed a water depth of five meters.
