A 508-TEU German feeder boxship reportedly ran aground off Denmark in the early hours of Friday morning. The ship’s captain was arrested after he was suspected of being drunk during the incident.
The 1998-built Ragna got stuck in the strait between the Jutland Peninsula, famous as the Little Belt, and the island of Funen as it set sail from Federicia port to Germany’s Bremerhaven.
The Maritime Assistance Service warned the Funen authorities on observing an abnormal sailing pattern of the ship before the accident. The police mentioned that they had detained the 33-year-old German national to have him submit to an alcohol test.
