The 400-metre-long container giant "Mumbai Maersk" has run aground in the North Sea tidal flats and must be towed free.

This is a required procedure, as per US Maritime Laws, all international freighters must be piloted in and out of a US harbor by a US Captain. Here we have out local pilot vessel Sea Bear running up alongside the Solina to allow the two officers to depart the freighter before she heads out across Lake Superior
