There was no risk to life or the environment. The lifeboat "Bergesen d.y." went on standby, and the tug "John" (IMO: 9008641) was deployed from Slagen. It reached the grounding site at 9 a.m. A first attempt to pull the ship off failed. Now the tide was going out. Also the tug "Gyltingen" (MMSI: 257358800) was deployed to the grounding site.
