On August 21, the 110 meter long self-propelled tanker-barge Somtrans XV ran aground on the Rhine near Millingen, Netherlands. The Somtrans XV was en route to Pernis from Tolkamer when the tanker-barge ran up on the left bank.  The Somtrans XV remained aground for several hours until it could be refloated late the same day.  Authorities inspected the vessel and found there was no damage or pollution released.  The Somtrans XV was allowed to proceed on its voyage on to Pernis.
