On the morning of September 3, the 89 meter long, 3587 dwt cargo/container vessel Jade (IMO: 9411769) ran aground on the Ghent Terneuzen Canal near Sas van Gent, Netherlands. The Jade was headed to Ghent from Bilbao when it stranded in the canal near the bridge at Sas van Gent. Multiple tugs were dispatched and were able to refloat the cargo vessel the same day. Two of the 3 tugs involved escorted the Jade to Ghent. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released. The cause of the grounding was not disclosed, but there is speculation the Jade had suffered either engine or steering failure before the incident.
