Barge grounded on groyne
On the morning of July 1, 2026, the 'Alcatraz', enroute from Groot-Ammers, ran aground on a groyne near the Bergstoep No. 46 in Streefkerk. The ship, loaded with containes, became stuck on the groyne almost diagonally, at least six meters before its very tip, after coming out of the fairway. Three inland vessels started working to refloat the ship. The patrol boat 'RWS 73' of Rijkswaterstaat and the pusher tug 'Otter' were also on the scene. After two hours, the ship could be pulled back stern first into the fairway and proceeded to Bergambacht.
