The small passenger and cycle chain-ferry, called locally as a Floating Bridge, ran aground while operating between East and West Cowes on the Isle of Wight.  The chain-ferry was delayed docking while the tide was going out.  The chain-ferry  was left high and dry.   No reports of injuries or pollution released.  Reports state the delay was due to a towed bus becoming stuck and blocked the carriageway.
