Grounding near Terneuzen
Dense fog on the Western Scheldt led to the grounding of the 'Coccinella' near Terneuzen on March 7, 2026, at around 8 a.m. The ship got stuck shortly after leaving the port without cargo amid the outgoing tide near the Westbeer, en route to Antwerp. Rijkswaterstaat and the towing company Multraship Towage & Salvage, which deployed the tug "Multratug 1', responded quickly. However, because the ship had run aground at low tide, they could do little at that time, and the vessels left the area again. Due to the low water level, refloating attempts were currently pointless with the tanker resting on the mud high and dry.There have been no reports of damage or pollution. The ship was successfully refloated with the rising tide by the tug 'Multratug 7' (IMO: 9817808) at 3.30 p.m. and towed back to Terneuzen, where it remained stationary near the locks of the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal as of March 9.
