The "Vlieland" ran aground on the IJssel near Wilsum in the night of Mar 16, 2011. The river had to be closed for traffic at 3.30 a.m. The vessel is carrying a cargo of gravel and sand and got stuck after a navigational mistake of the captain who was trying to go astern when realizing it and then drifting perpendicular in the current. A crane ship and a tugboat were working to get the ship moving again. The ship is low in the water and may be overloaded.
