Container barge got stuck under Hunte bridge
On Mar 14 around 3 p.m. the "Marino" got stuck with its cargo while passing underneath the railway bridge Elsfleth Ohrt in the Wesermarsch community. The ship was underway with 20 empty containers and bound from Oldenburg to Elsfleth, some of them were damaged. The Hunte was closed in both directions by the shipping authority in Bremen. Rail traffic from Bremen to Elsfleth, Brake, Rodenkirchen and Nordenham was interrupted timewise. The Hunte barrier was closed because of the incoming flood to keep the water from rising further. The draught of the ship was increased by pumping in ballast water. At 6.20 p.m. the falling tide enabled the ship to come free, and it proceeded to Elsfleth. The bridge was investigated for damage.
