Grounding on the Rhine
The "Avaro“, 3242 ts (EU-No.: 06004274), ran aground in the morning of Oct 14, 2017, on the Rhine off Bingen. The loaded barge was enroute from Nijmegen to Mannheim. It did not hamper the passing traffic at the grounding site. The accident happeneddue to misjudgment of the master on a stone bar close to the Nahe mouthing. The barge was refloated by two tugs in the run of the day. The strong currents had pushed the stern around after she hit the bar with the bow. The barge, loaded with 2.500 tons potash, continued the voyage to Mannheim, arriving there on Oct 15 around 5.30 p.m. Photo: https://www.swr.de/-/id=20457236/property=gallery/pubVersion=1/19qh8jz/Wasserschutzpolizei.jpg
