Jade

On the morning of Sep 3, 2025, the 'Jade' ran aground near the bridge at Sas van Gent. She was underway from Bilbao to Ghent. Three tugs, the 'Hendrik 7' and 'Hendrik 9' from Aerde Towing Service in Sas van Gent and the 'Multratug 9' from Multraship in Terneuzen were deployed to refloat the ship. No damage was reported. Two of the involved tugs then towed the 'Jade' to the port of Ghent, where it remained stationary as of Sep 5. Photos: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AtFX67DhB/
