A first attempt had failed. The vessel stranded a couple of days earlier. She has around 1,800 tonnes of fuel and 140 tonnes of marine fuel on board. Greenpeace fears massive ecological damage to the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea in the event of a spill. The Wadden Sea has a highly sensitive ecosystem and is under special protection. The accident of the freighter "Pallas" in 1998 showed catastrophic consequences of an oil spill in this region. At that time, about 100 tons of heavy fuel oil leaked and caused the death of about 16,000 birds.In original language:Aufgelaufener Oeltanker im Wattenmeer vor LangeoogDer vor der Nordsee-Insel Langeoog havarierte Frachter „Glory Amsterdam“ soll zum Wochenende geborgen werden. Ein erster Versuch war gescheitert. Der Schuettgutfrachter liegt seit Sonntagabend, 31.10.2017, auf Grund. Er hat rund 1.800 Tonnen Schweroel und 140 Tonnen Marinediesel an Bord. Greenpeace befuerchtet im Falle eines Schadstoffsaustritts massive oekologische Schaeden für das niedersaechsische Wattenmeer. Das Wattenmeer ist ein hochsensibles Oekosystem und steht unter besonderem Schutz. Die katastrophalen Folgen eines Oelaustritts in dieser Region zeigte die Havarie des Frachters „Pallas“ im Jahr 1998. Damals traten rund 100 Tonnen Schweroel aus und verursachten den Tod von etwa 16.000 Voegeln.Locations:Europe-Germany-Lower Saxony-Wadden SeaDate:2 Nov, 2017Credit:© Joerg Modrow / GreenpeaceMaximum size:4608px X 3072pxKeywords:Accidents-Beaches-Day-Freighters-Islands-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Oil tankers-Outdoors-VesselsShoot:Freighter Stranded at the Wadden Sea in GermanyThe vessel "Glory Amsterdam", which has been struggling off the North Sea island of Langeoog, is to be salvaged soon.
