I don't read German, but I can find reports of the same SIZE chip getting stuck on the Elbe and requiring 12 tugs to free it. The ship was called the CSCL India

- mzs 6y agoyep, thanks >On February 3, 2016 CSCL Indian Ocean grounded in the River Elbe, while approaching Hamburg, Germany. Her rudder controls were reported to have malfunctioned. It took almost a week to free her from the sandbank, because she grounded at high-tide. Her fuel was unloaded, and she was finally freed, February 9, six days later, during the next spring tide. Twelve tugboats were required to assist in freeing her. Two dredgers had helped cut away at the sandbank, near the grounding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSCL_Indian_Ocean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSCL_Indian_Ocean
- tim333 6y agoSounds quite similar. This one also grounded at a high tide but a higher one is coming.
