Grounding off Kiel

Enroute Terneuzen-Sanders with a cargo of 2400 tons fertilizer the "Selene Prahm" ran aground in the Kiel Sound at buoy 6 off Laboe in the afternoon of Feb 27, 2012, after it suffered rudder problems and suddenly veered to starboard while heading for the open sea. The multi purpose ship "Scharhörn" and the tug "Holtenau" were called for assistance after attempts to refloat with own power had failed. At 9 p.m. the "Holtenau" had pulled the ship off the sandbar and towed itback to the Scheer Port in Kiel where it berthed half an hour later and investigations of the water police and surveys by technicians started. The ship was allowed to resume its voyage short past noon on Feb 28. German report with photo: http://www.kn-online.de/Lokales/Ploen/Frachter-lief-vor-Laboe-auf-Grund
