The 187 meter long self-propelled barge GMS Odeon along with the barge SL Elly ran aground on the Danube River near 2277 kilometer mark.   The vessels were en route to Linz from Rotterdam with 3300 tons of iron ore when the rudder system failed.   The connection ropes between the vessels broke allowing the SL Elly to run aground on a shoal.   The Odeon secured its position to the bank due to the strong current.   No reports of injuries or pollution being released.

Ulm

The 105 meter long self-propelled barge Ulm went aground on the Danube River near Mariaposching, Germany.   The Ulm was proceeding downstream when the current pulled the vessel around before it went aground.  A nearby vessel came to the aid of the Ulm, but could not pull the Ulm free.  The Ulm blocked traffic on the Danube for several hours before it was decided to lighter some of the 1511 tons of coal cargo.   No reports of injuries, damage or pollution being released.
