Attorney in the Main: Freight ship continues to block the river!

A dramatic event on the Main causes excitement: In Karlstadt, a 110 -meter -long freight ship called Nautilia has been blocking the river since Tuesday after it was left due to the current. It transported 2000 tons of clinker granules that were to be brought to the Rhineland. Emergency inserts for the rescue of the ship have so far been unsuccessful. On Wednesday the first recovery attempt was canceled due to darkness after the ships, including the shear ship "Paula", had failed on site, as Main-echo reported.

On Thursday, a new attempt is to start, supported by the chiff “Thuringia” and other trains. The depth of the water is determined to plan the further measures. The shipping lock initially scheduled for 5 p.m. was extended by 24 hours, which complicates the situation for passengers of a river cruise ship nearby. The rescue professionals must ensure that the prisoner ship does not cause any further damage after the liberation and that all matters have been resolved before the journey can continue.

collision in Würzburg also a big problem

Merkur reported.

In both cases, extensive rescue measures had to be taken, and in the Würzburg case, the incident could possibly lead to damage to the "Mainkuh". Fortunately, there were no people to be harmed in these incidents, but traffic disruptions raise questions about the safety and efficiency of shipping on the Main.
