On August 6, the 39 meter long ro-ro ferry Opheusdenseveer (MMSI: 244750035) became disabled on the Nederrijn River near Wageningen, Netherlands. The ferry was put out of action when a undisclosed inland vessel had sailed too close to the Opheusdenseveer and become entangled in the guide chains. As the inland vessel continued to proceed the chains dragged the ferry against against a groyne. Both vessels could not be moved blocking traffic on the river. No reports of injuries or pollution released.

Update: The Opheusdenseveer was freed and put back in service on August 13.
