'This is a rare situation to happen,' says a spokesperson at the port.
The Baltic Arrow is currently in the River Nene, Wisbech, after the captain reported "grounding" at about 08:49 BST on Tuesday.A port spokesperson said it was a "rare situation" but because the tide had fallen the plan was to wait "until vessel is afloat at next high water to free her from the banks".The cargo ship was being sailed under the flag of St Kitts and Nevis to the Port of Wisbech.
They said: "Since tide has fallen away, plan is to wait until vessel is afloat at next high water to free her from banks with additional tug assistance and continue her pilotage safely into Wisbech Port. On this occasion, it was down to the tide going out whilst part of the vessel was in contact with the bank, the port spokesperson said.
