The Baltic Arrow grounded just outside Wisbech finally freed.

Wisbech became the scene for a river rescue tonight after a cargo ship loaded with timber became stuck on the River Nene.
The Ship was freed by 10pm

So you speak for the masses? Might at least hold a vote first.

[@stevedowdeswell139]

I saw that ship in Wisbech docks yesterday. Glad it got sorted.

Good video work and you see how hard that tugboats must work, it is almost the same position as in the Panama canal last year,

An English version of that Suez thing of a bit ago

[@brianbrocklehurst9224]

Probably due in part to insufficient dredging. False economy’..

[@ecossearthur]

100%

The aft tug has put all the weight on her starboard quarter and stood directly in the line of fire is people on the bank! I’m surprised the MSC wasn’t there making sure everyone was stood clear with the way H&S is today! ⚓️🦈

[@russvhill2]

At least it stopped the threat of Viking raiders for a few days

Nice edit! 👍

[@jimevans9550]

Farmer with a tractor could a done that, bor.

[@fredscratchet1355]

Is there a slight list to starboard?

[@thomasgreen1739]

Yes slightly they transferred ballast water from the port side to reduce her draft

[@anthonypaterson7066]

why did the ship's engines not provide some power to assist the tugs?

[@christopherdavies9111]

Because the ships propeller/rudder are embedded in the muddy bank,it would cause untold damage to the main engine and propulsion shafts if they were to start it .

[@user-sc8dh4vn4v]

How it s a straight bit of river 🤠🔧⚓JB

[@websitesthatneedanem]

Man made .... obviously

[@terrystevens5261]

I would guess the effects of wind gusts.

[@clementmascarenhas673]

It's such a narrow passage for ships to sail thru... Not much depth too...
