Kapstadt aground at Geesthacht
In the afternoon of Jan 11, 2017, the "Kapstadt", 1413 ts (EU-No.: 02326507), ran aground on the Elbe at Geesthacht. The unloaded ship veered off course and got stuck on a groyne. Passing traffic was not hampered. The crew did not require assistance and was hoping to get off with the rising water level. In fact the barge was refloated on Jan 12 at 7 a.m. and proceeded to Bützfleth where she berthed at 11 a.m. before sailing on to Hamburg.
