General cargo ship DEFENDER ran aground east of Aarhus in Kattegat, in Danish waters, at around 0440 UTC Jul 18. The ship sailed into shallow waters with depths less than ship’s draft, and she looks to be hard aground, because she ran aground at full speed. DEFEBDER is en route from S-Petersburg to Sibenik Croatia. Still aground as of 1830 UTC Jul 2, awaiting salvage.
