Container ship RAGNA ran aground late at night Oct 27 shortly after leaving Frederica Denmark, Little Belt, bound for Bremerhaven Germany. Understood as of 1350 UTC Oct 28, the ship is still aground, though her status is marked as “NUC”. Coordinates don’t change since around 2230 UTC Oct 27. Reportedly ship’s sailing after she left Frederica was suspicious and the ship was boarded by the police, finding Master to be intoxicated. He was arrested, and taken on shore. No leaks reported, no tugs seen around, probably waiting for high tide to refloat RAGNA.
