A Dutch tanker has refloated after runing aground off Cuxhaven in Germany.

The 12,500-dwt Oriental Nadeshiko (built 2009) got stuck early on Monday morning in the Elbe, the Basler Zeitung reported, citing German authorities.

It is loaded with a 9,000-tonne cargo.

The crew was reported as saying no damage has been suffered by the vessel.

The cargo includes hydraulic fluids, solvents and fuel.

A refloating attempt was to be made at high tide on Monday afternoon.

The vessel was en route to Tarragona in Spain when the incident occurred.

AIS data showed it underway off the port later on Monday.

Manager Serromah Shipping has been contacted for comment.
