Adler Express
The 42 meter long, 42 dwt passenger ship Adler Express ran aground near Amrum, Germany. The Adler Express was on its way from Wittdün to Hörnum with 105 passengers when it struck a sandbank during low tide. The passengers were safely shuttled by another passenger vessel to the nearby island of Sylt. No reports of injuries to passengers or crew. The Adler Express was later refloated on the next high tide and proceeded back to its home port. The vessel was undamaged and no pollution was released. A rescue lifeboat from the German Maritime Rescue Service was on scene monitoring the activities.
