The Baltic Arrow grounded just outside Wisbech finally freed.

[@BelleBlu]

Thanks for the update ... & really good drone video work 💯 👌

[@Truck-Train-Ship-Car-Bikelover]

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,

[@dryflyman7121]

Great vid and drone footage. Glad they got away 👍

But we dont want music…

[@rev.randall2292]

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

[@ecossearthur]

Laws of Physics, and the angle of the dangle!!

[@bazza945]

Yeah, that's got many a lad into differculties. 😮

[@janbredenhoff1267]

Top drone work, tnx

[@russvhill2]

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

[@PillSharks]

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! ⚓️🦈

Nice edit! 👍

[@stevedowdeswell139]

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

[@Jeff-bg7pt]

Nice bit of parking 🅿️😅

[@roberthowlett9318]

An English version of that Suez thing of a bit ago

[@fredscratchet1355]

Is there a slight list to starboard?

[@thomasgreen1739]

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

[@edwardthomson7285]

No diagonal parking here any time

[@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 .

Потому что-винт и перо руля были в грунте реки.Под илом камни,погнули бы лопасти винта.

[@brianbrocklehurst9224]

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

[@ecossearthur]

100%

[@markhepworth]

So steerage is obviously the most likely cause,why would you think it’s “probably due to insufficient dredging”....? 🤷‍♂️

[@ecossearthur]

@@markhepworth dredging all over this area is poor at best just a very narrow passage channel for such a large ship. Takes but a hair out of place to catch the bulbous and drag it in to the bank... So yes steerage... Root cause.... Insufficient dredging...

[@markhepworth]

@@ecossearthur I just don’t know how you can be so sure,keeping a long vessel in a dead straight channel is actually pretty hard,and even a medium wind can make it very difficult,problems with steerage are relatively common,but the most obvious potential is just plain old human error.

[@jimevans9550]

Farmer with a tractor could a done that, bor.

[@RuthNewstead]

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...
