On the morning of December 19, the 100 meter long, 6251 dwt cargo vessel Cellus (IMO: 9173317) ran aground in the River Wear at the entrance to the Port of Sunderland, England. The Cellus had departed from Brünsbuttel with a cargo of paper products when it grounded as it entered the port. The cargo vessel was unable to free itself and requested assistance.

The Cellus was later docked at a quay within the port. No reports of injuries or pollution released. No details if the Cellus sustained any hull damage or was inspected for damage.
