The 23 meter long tug Marineco Hathi ran aground on the breakwater outside the port at Oostende, Belgium.   The tug was maneuvering to drop anchor when it became stuck in the shallows.   The Marineco Hathi was able to refloat itself at the next high tide.   The tug proceeded into the port of Oostende where it berthed to allow divers to inspect the vessel for damage.   No reports of injuries or pollution being released.  The Marineco Hathi had been working on the wind farm on the Thornton Bank  to help connect the wind farm to the power station onshore.
