Flumina Aground
The 39 meter long self-propelled barge Flumina struck bottom on the Scheldt River near Bornem, Belgium. The vessel suffered water ingress, but was able to continue to a jetty in Bornem. There local firefighters aided the crew to pump out the water and do temporary repairs. The Flumina had 280 tons of barley on board which was not impacted by the water ingress. The Flumina continued under its own power to a wharf for permanent repairs. No reports of injuries or pollution being released.
