Enroute from Den Helder to Kiel the "Stortemelk" ran aground on the Elbe on the Glameier Stack off Müggendorf on Apr 24, 2016, with a crew of eight on board. The ship was listing to starboard after having got stuck on a groyne with considerable speed. On scene was NW wind of 7 Bf. The police boat "Bürgermeister Brauer" and the lifeboat "Hermann Helms" attended the charter ship, but left again later. The "Stortemelk" was refloated with the rising tide on Apr 25 at 4.30 a.m. by the tug "TOW 9" and reached Brunsbüttel on Apr 25 where she berthed in the inner port at 6.15 a.m. Reports and photos: http://www.cn-online.de/stadt-land/news/zweimaster-brummt-auf-die-steine.html https://scontent-frt3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13096172_1699180817023001_8018817076153046655_n.jpg?oh=1c9672e818a8e8e4b99a7655337453a8&oe=57AAA93E
