Barge broke lose from pushed convoy
The pushed barge' Tim II' (ENI: 02331190), en route from Amsterdam and loaded with coal, broke free from the 'Tim', sailing upstream on the Rhine, on the afternoon of Oct 27, 2025, at around 3 p.m. near the "Bankeck" (bank corner) off St. Goar, drifted approximately 500 meters downstream and ran aground on the opposite right river bank in St. Goarshausen. Navigation was closed in both directions between St. Goar and Kaub for approximately three hours. The salvage was being carried out by the Dutch barge 'Vigo' (MMSI:244944994), en route from Zwijndrecht, which received a call from the insurance company asking if itcould help. The barge wasn't lying too high on the rocks and wasn't sucked onto a sandbank either. The 'Vigo' was manoevred alongside the barge. After it was detached, the 'Vigo' with the alongside tow moved about 500 meters downstream to reach the 'Tim', which had also moved a kilometer, because it couldn't stay in the bend, and was waiting at the Rheinfels harbour in St. Goar. The whole operation took about one hour. The 'Vigo' then continued on its way to Karlsruhe. On Oct 28 at 5.30 a.m. the voyage of the 'Tim'/'Tim II' was continued.
