The 135 meter long passenger vessel Viking Tialfi ran aground on the Rhine near Mannheim, Germany. The river cruise ship was en route to Amsterdam from Basel with 185 passengers when it attempted to berth at Mannheim.  During the maneuver the Viking Tialfi ran aground on a sand bar.  The passenger ship was unable to free itself and requested assistance.  The passenger ship Viking Fir arrived and was able to transfer all the passengers off the Viking Tialfi safely.  Later the self-propelled barge Johanna was able to pull the Viking Tialfi free.
