River cruise ship disabled
On Apr 15, 2014, the "Serenity" being underway from Linz to Passau was disabled in Melk during a berthing manoever at 7.30 a.m. A thick mooring wire broke and got entangled in the propeller of the bow thruster. The ship had 180 persons on board. The master called the fire rescue. Six divers tried to cut the wire which was complicated by the low temperatures of the Danube.
