Grounding Incident In Skive: The Rebecca Rousing Stuck in Low Waters
On July 22, 2017, at approximately 5 p.m., the freighter Rebecca Rousing ran aground while navigating into the port of Skive, Denmark. The vessel became stuck just 200 meters from the harbor entrance after miscalculating its turn and failing to adjust in time. At the time of the incident, the water level was notably low, with a depth measuring only four meters against the ship's draught of 3.6 meters. Efforts to refloat the ship were initiated by the port tug, Krabbe, but unfortunately, these attempts did not succeed. As a result, the ship's owner, Carsten Rousing, reached out for additional assistance, contacting the tugboat Nadir (IMO: 7401277) based in Thyborøn. Nadir arrived at Skive at around 3 p.m. on July 23, and within just half an hour, it successfully towed the Rebecca Rousing back into deeper waters. Fortunately, the grounding occurred on a soft seabed, resulting in no apparent damage to the vessel. After regaining its stability, the Rebecca Rousing continued its journey into the port. The ship had been en route from Stenungsund, carrying 1,500 tonnes of shear, and subsequently departed from Skive on July 24, bound for Wismar.
