Saaremaa Coast, lighthouse in sea with ruins on coast

The boat got stuck due to the low level of sea water.

A Portuguese cargo ship trying to leave the port of Saaremaa in Estonia was stranded on Tuesday after getting stuck due to low sea levels, and has remained there ever since.

This Friday, work will begin to try to ‘free’ the vessel, reports ETV.

According to the publication, strong winds, ice and the low water level are to blame for the incident, as well as human error.

The Bugoe, which flies the Portuguese flag, was bound for Stockholm, Sweden, and was carrying a shipment of wood chips.

The sandbanks at the entrance to the port are the limit of the distance the ship has been able to travel so far.

The port captain on duty, Kaarel Niine, told ERR that he couldn’t remember a situation like this in his 23 years at the port.
