Tanker 'Marion' Grounded on Danube River: Incident Report
On August 17, 2023, at 2:45 a.m., the tanker 'Marion' became stranded on the Danube River at kilometer 2258.7 while navigating downstream toward Vilshofen. The vessel, en route from Regensburg to Passau, encountered a navigational error in thick fog, resulting in it getting stuck on a gravel bar. Local authorities, including the Deggendorf River Authority and water police, swiftly attended the scene in the early hours of the morning. Fortunately, the unloaded tanker remained outside the main shipping channel, allowing for unobstructed passage of other vessels. Multiple attempts to refloat the 'Marion' using the pusher boat 'Uhu' proved unsuccessful, primarily due to the river's low tide, which measured only 2 meters at Hofkirchen. However, the situation improved as rising water levels around 5 p.m. finally freed the vessel.
