Intoxicated Captain Causes Chaos on Cargo Ship: Collides with Bank Wall and Runs Aground.

But the wild ride didn’t end: A little later, the ship went off course again, collided with the right bank wall and ran aground. The crew of another motorized cargo vessel came to the master’s aid and pulled the 80-metre vessel back into the fairway. However, the crew quickly noticed that the skipper was heavily intoxicated and prevented him from proceeding. She coupled the now driverless freighter to the side of her ship and brought it to the Riedenburg lock, where the captain was already received by officers from the water police in Beilngries and the police in Kelheim.
