Port Reopens After Boat Runs Aground
A port has reopened after a boat that had run aground was moved.
The Port of Wisbech Harbour Authority announced the closure of Port Sutton Bridge and Port of Wisbech on Tuesday after the Marry S banked last Monday.
- Mariners were advised that the River Nene was closed to all commercial traffic as the banked vessel was making navigation unsafe.
- The closure was from buoys nine and seven, and no inbound or outbound vessels were permitted to attempt to pass the obstruction.
Gavin Patrick, director, Port Sutton Bridge, said: "The ship left here and ran aground on Monday night around 9pm caused by a neap tide. It is quite unusual for it to happen, and we think it is because of the tide time."
Following its removal, the river is reopened. The Marry S was able to be moved on the next available spring tide.
Gavin Patrick also stated: "We moved it yesterday afternoon, and the river is back open again."
