Default M/S ANTA run aground in Zele

The M/S ANTA run aground by her bow during a mooring maneuver, then the
current took her stern across the river where she also run aground. She
broke in the middle and blocked the whole river. For around 14 days, all
traffic between Antwerp and Ghent (the route to France) had to divert via
Terneuzen (see the green arrows on the map)

Very Interesting Willem, thanks.
14 days is a long time for ships that normally passing this place, and I
think that ships spend a lot more money than usually.
