Senator grounded and refloated
The "Senator", 1541 ts (EU-No.: 04011650), ran aground in the morning of Mar 7, 2014, on the Rhine near Leverkusen-Hitdorf. The anchor of the ship, which was loaded with ore, had dragged around 7 a.m. due to the current or passing ship traffic. The vessel got stuck between the ferry pt. and a nearby bridge. The barge "Ursel" was able to pull the "Senator" off, and at 10.30 a.m. the police operation on scene was finished with the ship having been surveyed.
