Feb.26 – A cargo ship was stranded at noon on Sunday in the Chongqing
section of the Yangtze River, interrupting transport on the water route.
The ship “Shunfeng No.3,” carrying logs aboard, ran aground in the
Zhuerqi area as it cruised upstream, being trapped at a riffle by
numerous cobblestones, CRI reported quoting Chongqing Evening News.
The local waterway administration sent a rescue boat to the site soon
after the accident, planning to move the ship back to deep water. But the
effort failed due to the weight of the shipload.
A worker with the administration imputed the accident to a ship sinking
last November. He said the wreck led to a change in the river’s current
and stone deposits.
A boat has been dispatched to dredge up the waterway around the sinking
spot, the worker said. But it will have a hard time since it is now the
low water season.
