Check out this animation from Genscape Vesseltracker showing the AIS track of the 366-meter containership CSCL Jupiter when it ran aground on Monday in the Scheldt river near Antwerp.

The video shows the CSCL Jupiter left the dock at the port Antwerp at 0600 UTC (8 a.m. local time) and was underway under its own power when it ran aground about 50 minutes later while navigating a series of turns in the river.

Later in the video, you can see the massive effort to refloat the vessel during the high tide at around 9 p.m. The Antwerp Port Authority said 17 tugs were involved in the operation to refloated the ship.

Remember, here’s a look at CSCL Jupiter’s bow during low tide yesterday:
