Regensburg-Schwabelweis, Deutschland - A worrying incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon in the Regensburg Swabian area. A freight ship from Rotterdam, which was loaded with 1780 tons of iron ore, wanted to enter the Westhafen on June 11th at 11.15 a.m. But during a turning manever, the 110-meter-long ship came to be firmly on the right bank of the Danube.
At the moment, only one -sided drive past on the left side of the river is possible. The goods motor ship actually wanted to create in the Westhafen Regensburg, but now the salvage work is in the hands of the water protection police, which also examines the causes of the accident. In addition, there is also the difficulties that neither the ship's own attempts to maneuver themselves into the fairway, nor were the support of a thrust boat successful. But this accident is not the only one who is currently burdening shipping in Bavaria.

There, too, the two crew members were injured and had to save themselves over emergency ladders.

Some events have even been deliberately brought about, such as during the past. Wikipedia offers a comprehensive overview , which not only documents the most serious sea accidents, but also on the most common causes point out.
