The 136 meter long towboat Segesta and its two barges were underway on the Danube near Strudengau, Austria when the barges suffered water ingress. The barges loaded with 800 tons of gravel had sprung a leak and begun to fill with water. The barges were secured to the shore and the local fire brigade was requested. The fire brigades from Nabegg and Neustadtl responded with dewatering pumps. Another barge was requested to aid with lightering the cargo of gravel. No reports of injuries.
