Grounding on the Easter Scfheldt

The 'Robijn', en route from Ghent via Hans Weert with a cargo of bio diesel, ran aground on the evening of July 15, 2025 in the estuary of the Easter Scheldt between Bruinisse and Sint Philipsland in the waters of the National Park. The tide likely played a role in the grounding incident. The tug 'Zephyrus' established at towing connection, and the salvage commenced during the night. After the first attempt failed, the second attempt was started at 5.30 a.m. and was successful. The ship was then brought to the Krammer Locks, where it was nspected for possible damages and continued on its way on July 16 at around 5 p.m., arriving in the 2nd Merweh Port of Rotterdam on July 17 at 12.45 a.m. Reporst with photos: https://www.hvzeeland.nl/nieuws/64966-schip-vastgelopen-op-oosterschelde-bij-bruinisse/ https://www.internetbode.nl/tholen/452927/ruim-100-meter-lang-schip-met-biodiesel-vastgelopen-bij-sint-
