It is noteworthy that the stranded vessel weighing 224 thousand tons was on its way to the port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands when it derailed. The operator of the vessel said in a statement that the vessel - nearly 400 meters high the same as the Empire State Building - was confined through a vital trade lane at the canal mark (151 km).
