Container ship runs aground

A container ship has run aground near the island of Anholt between Jutland and Sweden. The navy reported that there are no signs of fuel or other pollutants leaking from the vessel. The ship, which is registered to a Dutch company, was on its way from Poland to Germany when it ran aground.  Divers are examining the prop to see if it has been damaged and the navy said the ship could be freed today. An investigation is underway to determine why the ship, which draws at nearly ten metres, was sailing in waters only six metres deep. – TV 2 News
