Piz Arina lightered grounded tanker which was then refloated
Lightering operations of the "Emma" by the "Piz Arina" were completed on Jan 31 around noon. The ship could be refloated then and was pulled to Oberwesel, where it will be investigated in order to find out if it may continue its voyage to a yard. At 12.45 a.m. the Rhine was reopened fur ships sailing river downstream from Bingen, followed by the ship traffic upstream once soundings of the river bottom were completed. On Jan 30 an attempt to pull the ship off with one tug had failed. Then part of the cargo was pumped to other tanks and another attempt started with one more tug, which failed too. The investigations of the police regarding the cause of the grounding were going on, but it was thought to have been a navigational mistake.
